In previous mail, you mentioned that other host that initiated ping
got ethernet address of jme0 which in turn means both TX and RX of
jme0 works as expected. The subsequent unresponsive ping indicates
jme0 didn't receive unicast ping(ICMP ECHO) request. I'm not sure
how this can happen and I never seen this kind of issue with my
sample boards that JMicron sent to me.

Yeah, it may explain it. If you encounter the same issue again,
please compare the ethernet hardware address of jme0 and ethernet
address of ARP entry on another host.

Ok, thanks for letting me know.
