Hi All,
	I'm trying to setup the network interface on my RiscPC.
The hardware is fine as I can use it from RiscOS, and talk to my
i386BSD box (1.0.0.1)

The relevant bit of messages is:
May 16 10:23:54 cowdery /netbsd: podulebus0 (root)
May 16 10:23:54 cowdery /netbsd: podule2  at podulebus0 : ICS : IDE Interface : IDE Interface
May 16 10:23:54 cowdery /netbsd: netslot0 at podulebus0 : I-Cubed : etherlan 600 network slot interface : i-cubed ltd, EtherLan 600 interface (00:c0:32:00:26:d7)

[snip]

May 16 10:23:55 cowdery /netbsd: ne0 at podulebus0 [ netslot 0 ]: EtherLan 600 ethernet
May 16 10:23:55 cowdery /netbsd: ne0: Ethernet address 00:c0:32:00:26:d7
May 16 10:23:55 cowdery /netbsd: ne0: using 10Base2/BNC

ifconfig -a gives:
ne0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	address: 00:c0:32:00:26:d7
	media: Ethernet manual
	inet 1.0.0.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 1.0.0.255
lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 32976
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 296
sl1: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 296
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ppp1: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
tun0: flags=10<POINTOPOINT> mtu 1500
tun1: flags=10<POINTOPOINT> mtu 1500

which seems fine to me.

But pinging 1.0.0.1 (which works under RiscOS) fails with the error
host is down, which it isn't.

Is the support definitely there for this card in the RiscPC 1.4 kernel?

Any other clues?

I do get these messages when I try to use it:
May 16 10:25:05 cowdery /netbsd: ne0: device timeout

Thanks,
