I doubt that the full duplex fix itself caused the problem. I think this is probably another instance of the receive filter issue. When you bring up the Xircom card, if you don't get incoming traffic, try doing things like "ifconfig eth0 promisc" (which should always work); sometimes it is also enough to do "ifconfig eth0 -promisc" a few times (which should do nothing, but...) -- Dave - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Xircom problems with test9-preX
Hi all, My Xircom RBEM56G-100 almost completely stops working in the latest test9-pre8 and pre9 versions. It will still get an IP address via DHCP, but that's it, no pings or anything. It works mostly correctly with test8 (quits responding when leaving promisuous mode, and seems to hang under heavy load/collisions, but these are problems you can usually live with). Backing out the attached patch returns it to the previous, mostly working condition. Later, Tom xircom_tulip_cb.patch

Hi all, My Xircom RBEM56G-100 almost completely stops working in the latest test9-pre8 and pre9 versions. It will still get an IP address via DHCP, but that's it, no pings or anything.
