Hi,

since I upgraded our gateway (486DX2/66, ASUS-SP3G, 24MB) to 2.2.2,
I have trouble with the second (outer) interface.
Before, I used 2.1.7 with an SMC card (BNC) on ed0 for the inner net
and another SMC (BNC,AUI,TP) for the outer net.
Ftp transfers went up to 1MB/s via the outer interface.

After installation of 2.2.2 I exchanged the cards (incl. the
I/O,IRQ-entries).
However, I got no connection to the outer net (ping, ...).
Nevertheless, the light on the network card was heavily flashing and
tcpdump revealed that indeed data was sent and received.

After testing 5 different cards I found that only the SMC (BNC,AUI,TP)
(which was in at first) and a NE2000 (BNC,TP) work on the outer net.
The others (2 SMC and 1 WD w/o TP) send and receive data (tcpdump) but
even ping doesn't do.

Now I found that the NE2000 gives a really bad performance (~20-40 kB/s
with ftp).

Currently I have
ed0 at 0x300-0x31f irq 10 maddr 0xd8000 msize 16384 on isa
ed0: address 00:00:c0:26:01:d5, type SMC8216/SMC8216C (16 bit)
ed1 at 0x320-0x33f irq 5 on isa
ed1: address 00:00:b4:3b:2e:cb, type NE2000 (16 bit) 

(The I/O,IRQs are hard-jumpered.)

Has anybody an idea what was/is wrong ?


Thanks,
Robert
