Hi! And excuse me about my poor English.

Description:
I have DEC PCI Ethernet card installed in my computer. During system boot
phase this card is deteced by de0 device driver. But after loggin' in I
can't use PING, TRACEROUTE, e.t.c.

TCPDUMP writes otuput only for PING 192.168.0.0 (my net is 192.168.0.0), for
any other PING's, TCPDUMP is silent.

I have noticed, that card act so badly, if it has OACTIVE flag set ([...]
means 'skipped'):
#ifconfig de0
flags=[...]<[...],OACTIVE,[...]>

After booting Win95 on the same computer (it's dual boot system
FreeBSD<->Win95) and rebooting it (soft reboot), the flag OACTIVE disappears
and all PINGs etc work just fine!

So, how can I initialize my network card in FreeBSD, or should I use Win95
as a big ugly "card reset program" for this purpose?

Have a nice CONNECT!
Dan. (daktaklakpak@public.mtu.ru)
