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.
