I have a pair of FreeBSD 3.4-stable machines sporting Macronix 10/100
ethernet cards:

	<Macronix 98715/98715A 10/100BaseTX> rev 0x25

I belive that the incoming address filters are not working as expected.
Specifically, ARP exchanges between the nodes are failing.  If I either
place static arp table entries on each node, or enable promiscious mode
(running tcpdump on an alternate VT) then the nodes can communicate
successfully.  I suspect a problem with the input filters either in
operation or initialisation?

Anyone got any further before I start hacking the driver to diagnose this
further?

Thanks in advance.

Andy.
