Trying to get my 3C859D card up and running, but I can't seem to get it going. System info: NEC Versa 2635CD Notebook Pentium 133 16M RAM FreeBSD Version 2.2.2 PCMCIA info: 3Com Etherlink III 3C589D IRQ 10 Driver: ep0 I have been through the FAQ's & mailing list archives for FreeBSD & PAO, installed the PAO patch, but so far nothing has worked. The following items were checked: The pccardd daemon correctly recognizes insertion and removal of the card. (No problems w/ IRQ allocation) Ifconfig shows the correct settings for the PC. Netstat -rn shows the correct routing table entries. Tcpdump is able to see network traffic, but when you exit tcpdump, it reports that about 1/3 of the packets were dropped by the kernel. The problem is that you can't contact another host. e.g.: Ping to a remote machine fails. (About 1 in 300000 packets get a response.) Any suggestions? I could definitely get another card if that is the problem, but I want to make sure that the card that I switch to will work. Are there any preferred cards? Thanks, Don Wallwork Stanford Telecom Sunnyvale, CA
