I had what appears to be the same problem with
my IBM EtherJet card on a Thinkpad A21p.
The card was able to send packets, but did not
recognise incoming data. After much searching on
the net, I found the suggestion to do
"ifconfig eth0 promisc", and this solved the problem.
To get this working automatically, I tinkered a bit
with the config files. Being new to Linux, I'm sure
that there are prettier ways, but these modifications
at least worked for me. :-)
In /etc/network/interfaces:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
pre-up /sbin/ifconfig -i eth0 promisc
up /sbin/ifconfig -i eth0 promisc
To get the pump-dhcp client working, in
/etc/pcmcia/network: (not /etc/pcmcia/network.opts)
...
if is_true $PUMP ; then
/sbin/ifconfig -i $DEVICE promisc
sleep 1
/sbin/pump -i $DEVICE > /dev/null
sleep 1
/sbin/ifconfig -i $DEVICE promisc
elif ...
Hoping this will be of some help,
Finn
