I'm still trying to get my Etherlan 600 card to work on my RiscPC
with the 1.4 release.

To recap:
The card probes OK.
Pinging itself (10.0.0.2) works OK.
It can't ping anything else on the network, yet RiscOS can, suggesting
that the card is OK.

Someone suggested that it might have the wrong media selected, so
I've tried to set it, but nomatter what I try, e.g.
ifconfig ne0 inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 media BNC
I get the following error:
ifconfig: SIOCSIFMEDIA: Device not configured

Is there a way to find out what media is currently selected?
How can I find out what the various options are, as man ifmedia
points to the driver documentation, which I don't think I have?

Are there any utilities for network traffic snooping that I can
use on my i386BSD box to see if this machine is emitting anything?

TIA,
