Hi,

I didn't see this message come back to me and since I still receive mail
about this problem, I feel like it would be a good idea to resend it.

Sorry if you see this twice.

Hi all,

The problem is over!

Thanks to Julian Elischer <julian@ref.tfs.com> who quickly found the problem:

a bug in the if_ep.c driver.

The fix is to add:

    ifp->if_unit = is->id_unit;

to:

    ifp->if_name = "ep";
    ifp->if_mtu = ETHERMTU;
    ifp->if_flags = IFF_BROADCAST | IFF_SIMPLEX | IFF_NOTRAILERS;
    ifp->if_flags |= IFF_MULTICAST;
    ifp->if_init = epinit;
    ifp->if_output = ether_output;
    ifp->if_start = epstart;
    ifp->if_ioctl = epioctl;
    ifp->if_watchdog = epwatchdog;


in epattach in if_ep.c (/sys/i386/isa/if_ep.c).

Thanks again,
I didn't think I still could be amazed by the level of support we get
from the community, but I am :-)
