I'd like to try to narrow down the pump problems. As I mentioned in an
earlier message, I have been completely unable to get pump (from unstable)
to work on my PowerMac 7300 using the 2.2.18 kernel. Using a static IP
address, or the dhcpcd package (from potato) I can access the network
perfectly in the same environment. Some other people have mentioned
similar problems. I'm hoping if we can gather enough information, we can
narrow down the source of the problem and, hopefully, get it fixed.
With this in mind, I have a couple questions:
1) Has anybody gotten pump to work successfully on a machine that uses the
MACE ethernet hardware. My understanding is that the following machines
use MACE: all PDM machines (PowerMac 61xx, 71xx, 81xx), all PowerMac72xx
machines, all PowerMac 7300, 7500, 7600, 85xx, and 95xx machines. If so,
in what kernel version(s) did it work?
2) Has anybody gotten pump to work successfully using a 3Com OfficeConnect
ISDN LAN modem as their DHCP server? If so, in what kernel version(s) did
it work?
If anybody else want to chime with descriptions of configurations where
pump does or doesn't work, that information may be helpful as well.
thanks,
Peter Canning
PS: In my case, after pump has configured everything (as far as i can tell,
the same as my static configuration), it appears all the incoming packets
are being dropped when I try to ping the DHCP/DNS server (based on the
output of "cat /proc/net/dev").
