Second oddity is that netdate is not working because its sending out bad
or missing CRC checksums in the UDP packets. I have most checksums, etc.
turned off in the kernel to minimize the kernel size. Do I need to turn
something
in particular on in the kernel in order to get the sparcstation 20 box
to send
out properly checksummed UDPs?



What network card are you using? A few other people have seen a similar problem. IIRC, we narrowed it down to sbus hme in 2.6.x, although, we didn't test lance.



That is my combination -- sbus/hme and 2.6.x

I could test with lance if that is useful.  Shouldn't be hard to setup and
run the test if that information yields something useful.

I could also fall back to 2.4 and test there, again if the data from the
test would be useful.

Assuming problem shows 2.6/hme but not 2.4/hme then it is
a problem in 2.6 hme driver (?) or how the 2.6 hme driver
interacts with other supporting 2.6 kernel code.

I could poke around in there (2.6 hme module code) if that's useful.
