Roana Technologies) Subject: [386BSD] WD8003E card doesn't work Message-ID: <1992Dec8.144009@cs.utwente.nl> Keywords: ethernet, 386BSD, WD8003E Sender: usenet@cs.utwente.nl Nntp-Posting-Host: firebird Organization: University of Twente, Dept. of Computer Science Date: Tue, 8 Dec 1992 13:40:09 GMT Lines: 17 Hi, I'm trying to use a WD8003E (8-bit) ethernet card with 386bsd 0.1. Although 386bsd recognizes the card as we0 (and correctly displays our ethernet address), I can't send or receive any frames with it. Everytime I have another computer send a frame to 386bsd, 386bsd says 'reject 65531'. Looking at the kernel sources, I found out this means a frame was received with a length of 65535 (0xFFFF). This suggests 386bsd is looking at the wrong area in memory. However, during initialization the memory seems to work correctly. Any suggestions are welcome. Greetings, Ronald roana@cs.utwente.nl
