Hello folks,

Can anybody out there confirm that they have the pcn driver for the AMD
PCnet-PCI series of chips working on PPC? 

So far, I having confirmed that the interrupt routing on the board is correct
(the interrupt handler in the driver is being called when I ping the board). I
also fixed a problem with the ethernet address being incorrect in the PROM
(luckily it is already in the physical address registers from the boot
firmware). But still I get no connection.

I have traced the incoming packets up into the stack too, and sure enough I see
the ARP request come in, and I see the ether_output() function queue up a
reply. I also see the outbound packet count increment in the transmit interrupt
handler.

Running arp -a on my host shows the entry for the NS1000 as incomplete. Even
manually assigning the ethernet address on the host doesn't make the connection
work, so I am very suspicious of the packets being generated. As I type this, I
am installing ethereal in the hope that I can see something obviously wrong in
the packets. I thought I'd ask though whether this driver had ever been used on
a PPC system before.

Rgds,
John...
