'Lo all. Are there specific problems with the ex driver in 2.2 that I
should know about?
Quick background: After discovering that the EE/16 support was
completely broken after the merge of the ix and ie drivers, I put an
EE/Pro 10 in a 2.2 box to replace the EE/16. After doing that, none
of the other boxes on the network can see the box with the EE Pro/10.
Here's the new network layout:
+------+
|A |
|Win95 |-------------+ +------------+
|EE/16 | | |C |
+------+ +----+ |FreeBSD 2.2 |
|Hub |----|EE Pro/10 |----PPP--->Internet
+----------------+ +----+ +------------+
|B | |
|FreeBSD 2.2 |---+
|EE/16 Pre-Merge |
+----------------+
When the EE/16 was in machine C and the pre-merge kernel was running,
all boxes saw each other, no problem. After putting in the Pro/10 and
recompiling the kernel, the machine come up okay, found the card,
dialed out the Internet over the PPP link and started communicating
with no problems. However, now neither machine A nor B can see
machine C.
Running a packet trace on the Pro/10, not even ARP requests are
completing between A<->C and B<->C. A and B, however can still see
each other just fine. All IP addresses and subnet masks are the same.
And yes, I did update /etc/sysconfig to config the ex interface
instead of the old ix interface. I also ran SoftSet to make sure the
configuration on the card matched the line in the kernel config file.
HOWEVER, I did note that SoftSet did not have an option to setup the
iomem address on the Pro/10 like it does on the EE/16. Should that
raise any flags?
Are there framing differences or other tidbits I should know about
here? Are there inherent incompatibilities between the EE/16 and
Pro/10 regardless of the OS? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
