There seems to be an issue with de0 driver in 5.3-BETA4 The problem seems to be the driver doesn't allow traffic, or minimal traffic at best unless it is set in promiscious mode. Initially I thought it may have been a problem with my firewall ruleset but as they hadn't changed since I upgraded from 5.2.1-p9 I doubted it. To test if my firewall was blocking the traffic i used tcpdump which instantly brought the interface and traffic to life, upon terminating tcpdump all traffic ceased. putting the interface into promisious mode using ifconfig de0 promisc instantly resumed the flow of traffic. If any more information is needed about my configuration or any further details are required I can provide them on request. Andrew D Wiles.
