I have a FreeBSD machine setup with a HP ethernet card using the AMD Am79C79x PCI 10/100 ethernet driver. The problem is I do not get incoming packets. If I get any, it is very spratic, so I either get none or a few or I get all of them. The general trend of the problem seems to be to get no returning packets. I have used a sniffer and watched the traffic to and from the machine. So when I ping a machine from the FreeBSD machine I can see the reply but my FreeBSD machine does not see it or if I telnet to the FreeBSD machine, it sends back a couple ACK packets but then after a few packets the FreeBSD machine sends an ACK RESET packet. I have tried rebuilding my kernel and this does not work, I have tried other ethernet drivers and nothing is working. I have checked to make sure that no packet filtering is on as well. Does anyone have any suggestions or no of a place where I can get information on how to fix this problem. Most websites I have looked at only have a few errors that are really basic, none seem to deal with this kind of problem. Thanks for the help.
