Hello,
I'm having the same problem as you have described in 2.
My system is a UltraSparc 1, after I updated my running kernel from
2.2.19-sun4u to 2.4.26-sparc64 my network doesn't function properly.
Further I use debian/testing.
I can ping outside my LAN (to the Internet) by means of a gateway. There
seems to be problems too on my localnetwork. I can connect to local
httpservers, but telnet is not working.
I can connect using telnet to another machine.. but as i start with
input.. nothing happens on my screen.. so.. I guess that some packets
get losts somewhere.
Who knows what's wrong?
Bye,
Gertjan

btw
stable boot floppy images(rescue and root) for sparc64 are not working
after sucessfully executing the rescue floppy i insert root floppy. then
systems hangs!
if you experience the same problem: you have can try the images of
debian potato (they are working) or try a different boot method if
that's possible (netboot,...)
