The interface is recognized at startup. When I try to do a ping to another machine on the same network, I get no reply. tcpdump shows that an arp request goes out to get the ethernet address for the host I ping to. I see no replies. Sometimes I see routes added (routed is running) so it looks as though the card is connected to the network. Using EtherPeek ( a ethernet sniffer) I see nothing from my machine. I tried adding an arp entry for the host I try to ping, and then I see the ICMP request in tcpdump. The board works fine under dos ... Any idea of what I am doing wrong?
