The only way I have found to make it work is to turn on promiscuous mode (with 'tcpdump -i eth0 -n > /dev/null') after bootup. I can turn it off after a few minutes without problem. I don't know if tulip driver I am using has been patched since I haven't compiled this 2.4.5 kernel myself. Here is driver bootup information: tulip.c:v0.91g-ppc 7/16/99 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov (modified by danilo@cs.uni-magdeburg.de for XIRCOM CBE, fixed by Doug Ledford) eth0: Xircom Cardbus Adapter (DEC 21143 compatible mode) rev 3 at 0x200, 00:10:A4:C0:2A:30, IRQ 9. eth0: MII transceiver #0 config 3100 status 7809 advertising 01e1. Hope this helps Regards -- Joseph Bueno
