Greetings,
I am delving into FreeBSD on a laptop for the first time and I am having
trouble with network connectivity. I finally got my hands on a PCMCIA NIC
that freebsd will recognize (3Com 3C589), and it does find it just fine,
but I can't get any packets out. Here is part of an ifconfig -a
zp0: flags=1843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,LINK0> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.0.35 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
ether 00:a0:24:a8:18:87
I have never seen the LINK0 before. On my other FreeBSD boxes the LINK0 is
MULTICAST. I can't find much info on PCMCIA NICs anywhere.
A ping to my server give me this:
# ping 10.0.0.1
PING 10.0.0.1 (10.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down
I have green lights on both the NIC and my hub and the cable is known good.
The NIC works under Windoz too. Any insight as to what is going on would
be greatly appreciated. Oh, FreeBSD-3.2-RELEASE installed off WC-CDROM.
Thank you,
Matthew Hagerty
