Just installed a 'new' 4.4 fbsd on one of my boxes. It's main job will be masquerading for my home network over a DSL line, but I've some problems. The box has one interface, an Intel EtherExpress 10+ (ex0), connected to a 10mbps SMC hub, pulling up tun0 for DSL and transferring packages to the rest of the machines over the hub. If it would work... Configured ex0 for 10.1.1.254, ifconfig says ex0 is 'UP, BROADCAST, RUNNING, SIMPLEX', flags=843, but there is effectively no traffic, I neither could ping any of the boxes of the localnet, nor any of the boxes could ping him. At boot time, ifconfig says 'ex0 is not multicast capable, IPV6 disabled', this is a little weird, I don't know if this is responsible for unable to transmit anything to the box. Of course, the NIC worked well under any other OS, like windows (sic!) and debian linux. Browsing through the archives, I found a thread from Jeff Gray and Crist J. Clark, telling that enabling PROMISC flag and then disabling it (f.e. with tcpdump) 'wakes up' the NIC, but it didn't work. Any ideas? (I'm a neither-newbie-nor-an-expert FBSD user, so please tell me step-by-step what to do, and how ignorant I am ;| ).
