Hi,

I have upgraded to 4.4 and I am trying to get my two
pccard NICs to work at the same time.

I've done some investigateing, but I'm not sure where
to go next.

both cards are the same make; Xircom 10/100 and both
are detected and correctly configured upon insertion.
I can assign IP addresses to both and ping each and
get a response.

xe0 works fine.
xe1 has problems;

first of all arp does not seem to run on this card,
all I get if I try to ping another machine is a pause
and then "host is down" - using tcpdump I see a single
"who-has" message go out - the other machines gets it
and replies but the reply is not recieved.

If I manually update the arp table using arp -s and
then try to ping, the echo request goes out, the other
machine recieves it and responds but again the
response does not seem to get through.

While this is happening I get "xe1: watchdog timeout;
resetting card" repeating in the console window.

I've swapped cards, cables and slots (xe0 and xe1 are
dependant on which card is inserted first).

what am I getting wrong?

Gavin
