Try setting those flags to IFF_SIMPLEX | IFF_BROADCAST | IFF_MULTICAST I have no direct evidence, but ARP may have trouble operating on an interface w/o IFF_BROADCAST, as it utilizes broadcasts. Essentially, IFF_BROADCAST just means that the interface has a broadcast address, but there may be some indirect consequences via the routing table. Anyway, an Ethernet interface ought to have IFF_BROADCAST set on it because it's a broadcast interface. > IFQ_SET_MAXLEN(&ifp->if_snd, IFQ_MAXLEN); > ifp->if_snd.ifq_drv_maxlen = IFQ_MAXLEN; > IFQ_SET_READY(&ifp->if_snd); > ifp->if_timer = MAX_TIMEOUT; > > // Set our fake MAC address > bcopy(localMac, sc->enaddr, 6); Just a style note: the 6 should be ETHER_ADDR_LEN. We prefer ETHER_ADDR_LEN to sizeof(...) because sizeof returns size_t, while an int is sometimes needed. (int and size_t have different width on 64-bit architectures.) ETHER_ADDR_LEN expands to the constant 6, which gets the correct type provided that the function has been prototyped. > // Attach the ethernet interface > ether_ifattach(ifp, sc->enaddr); > > // Reset the mtu > ifp->if_mtu = JNET_MTU; > ---- > > I think so. :) > > I beginning to think the ARP issue is a symptom not the cause.

Could you also show output from "ifconfig jnetX" and "netstat -rn" after the interface has been configured (i.e., had IP assigned)? P.S. Was the name "jnet" inherited from the Linux driver? -- Yar _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
