Hello,
I'm running eCos2.1 on a MIPS variant (w/ bsd_tcip) and am having some trouble
getting the second Ethernet port to configure via DHCP. Both ports are
connected to the same switch. Eth0 has a statically configured (10.9.8.188)
address while eth1 is set to configure from a DHCP server providing
192.168.20.x addresses. If I reverse the assignments (eth0 DHCP & eth1 static)
the ports work fine. I am not calling 'init_all_networks()' rather, I call
(what I believe to be) the common init code 'cyg_net_init()' and then by way of
two threads each associated with a specific port, " call 'dhcp_config(port)' or
'init_net("ethx", &bootp_data)'.
When the second port attempts DHCP, the DISCOVER packets never make it out onto
the wire, which I believe is due to the variable 'isbcast' in the 'ip_output
routine evaluating to zero as a consequence of the RTF_HOST flag being set.
It's as if -any- established route interferes with subsequent DHCP
configuration.
Does anyone have any idea as to what might be occurring?
