I have a problem with the
options BRIDGE
in the PicoBSD package ...
Simply, the bridge doesn't work ;(
With my greatest disappointment, the bridge does not seem to work even
in my bsd-box kernel.
My setup:
FreeBSD Box:
A Cyrix 6x86MX-pr300 with 32 mb ram:
- two PCI NE2000 cards (chipset RealTek 8029) configured as ed1 &
ed2
- bridging enabled in the kernel with the options BRIDGE & the
sysctl variable
Two PC clients in the network:
one is set as IP 192.168.1.2
the other is IP 192.168.1.100
I simply PING from one client to another to see packets going trough the
bridge.
With 3.1-RELEASE : no way.
The bridge is correctly initialized, the cards put in PROMISC mode, but
no banana.
The sad story : the PicoBSD disk downloaded from Lugi's page
http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi
WORKS perfectly.
Even with two el-cheapo Realtek 8139 (fast-ethernet 10/100) cards
(officially unsupported).
It does all by itself: boots & the bridge code starts working.
Now: is anyone here using the BRIDGE options in Fbsd 3.1-RELEASE ?
And under PicoBSD ?
Results ?
Tnx in advance,
Wyk'99
