Ok here is something quite odd:
tcpdump shows the arp reply from the server as: arp reply 192.168.0.5 is-at
0:e0:98:88:3a:2b
while on the client it shows the correct MAC address: 0:e0:98:98:3a:3b
I have tried hardwiring both with the following command in
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts:
module "pcnet_cs" opts "hw_addr=0x00,0xe0,0x98,0x88,0x3a,0x2b"
I feel like I am getting somewhere... thing is though.. this low level stuff
is a bit out of my league. I can troubleshoot it, but I have no idea how to
fix it.
