Hello all,

it's me again :-)

Last Friday, after seeing ext2fs doesn't work with the 7.0 kernel, I  
decided to do yet another step and upgrade to 7.1 Release. The  
virtual machine for building tinybsd setup and ran flawlessly, but a  
tinybsd image built from it doesn't like networking any longer. The  
non-working box is a Geode-based Flepo Alpha, which uses the re  
network driver.

The tinybsd settings and set of files is exactly the same as the one  
which worked flawlessly in 7.0 Release. Yet, the symptoms are:

- DHCP doesn't catch the DHCP server's response any longer.

- Setting up networking manually helps to get this up.

- I can ssh out of the box, but not into the box.

- If I start telnetd on the box manually in the console, I can telnet  
into the box.

- lighttpd refuses to pick up his work.

- The odd is: Not a single error message in sight, connections just  
hang or time out.

- /var/log doesn't contain a hint.

Now a 15-year-unix veteran looks pretty baffled. To illustrate this,  
I've copied the output of an attempt to run dhclient from the console  
and an attempt to ssh into the box below.

Any ideas anybody what's going on here?


Thanks,
Markus
