Anders,

I have seen this somewhere else, I lost the original post :(

I am going to fire off some quickies about stuff that has happened
to me:

- I once had a wake up on LAN card (with NetBSD/i386-1.4.2) 
  that got so frustrating I ended up putting another card in

- the card may be a 10/100 which may need a different media type
  I once had an autoselct 10/100 that if i tried to say 
  just 10 or just 100 in wouldn't work, I think I actually
  called the media 'autoselect' - or somehting, I cannot 
  remember

email me back the card type again and i will check tomorrow 
at some point if it is the same,

regards,

    jrf

| running a quite well working port-amiga/1.4.1-GENERIC kernel.
| After the install and configuration, I get the same phenomenon
| on the amiga! I ran tcpdump and got lots of broadcast traffic,
| but ping/traceroute/<insert tool here> won't work. It won't
| send! IP-numbers were used while pinging and tracerouting, so
| it shouldn't be due to the (not yet configured) DNS stuff.
| 
| At first I thought my i386 problem was due to my compiling a
| custom kernel (for my two NE2k ISA NICs) with ipf/ipnat enabled,
| but it doesn't seem to be connected to ipnat/ipf (because it
| doesn't work after a reboot disabling those either).
| 
| Did something seriously break somwhere in 1.4.2?
| 
| On the amiga side, I get the usual "le0: lost carrier" message
| I've gotten on it since 1.3.3 (it says so when the Ariadne card
| is first configured but it works: used to anyway). This does
| not happen on the ne0 and ne1 interfaces of the i386 box.
| 
| Sorry for the cross-posting, but this is exactly what I am
| experiencing on both my i386 and now also on my newly installed
| 1.5_ALPHA2 amiga.

| /ali - distressed! ;(
