Summary: Problem with WD8013 and 386BSD Keywords: 386BSD ethernet 8013 problem bug Message-ID: <C18MwH.5Aq@rot.qc.ca> Date: 22 Jan 93 04:24:15 GMT Organization: Groupe de Recherche Operationnelle en Telecommunication (ROT) Inc. Lines: 32 X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL6] Hi... This may be old hat, but here goes... Just a little backgroud: I'm tring to get 386BSD to talk to my ISC3.0 box but so far only slip works! I just recently aquired 386BSD, and have been installing it. The documentation mentions that it supports western digital (SMC) network cards. I have such a beast, and 386BSD does indeed detect the card upon boot-up. However after configuring it with: ifconfig we0 192.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.1.1.255 and: route add default 192.1.1.1 ping 192.1.1.1 does nothing (NADA) the activity lights on the card don't even flash. Going the other way (ISC3.0->386BSD ping makes the RX light flash on the card but it seems to be ignoring the packets.) I noticed however that when I set a new address with ifconfig a packet is transmitted (lights flash and packet count goes up on ISC machine.) I've tried with Tarry's new distribution tiny bsd and that didn't help either. Any comments / sugestions? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- captain@broue.rot.qc.ca | Andrew Webster | "The engines canna take it | | anymore cap'n..."
