>Description:
I have just install netbsd 1.6.2 on two computer and was trying to configure netbsd to be a router (with sysctl), but after activation nothing happen and it was impossbile to route packets.
I met the problems with two computer, the first one has one 3com 3c905tx card and one netgear Fa331 card.
The second computer has a dlink and belkin card.

But it was possible to communicate with these two cards.


>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
After severals tests I finaly change the card on the two computer and its works immediatly. So now the first computer has two 3com 3c905c tx and the second computer has one dlink and one 3com 3c905tx card.

the conclusion is that with a netgear fa331 or with a belkin card, it is impossible de route packets with netbsd.
