Question: Trust Netlink Combi don't respond to ping 

Forum: PCMCIA Network Adapter Issues
Date: 2000, Jan 06
From: A. Bosio torello 

I'm using an Acer Travelmate 512T, with debian slink,
Linux 2.2.13, pcmcia-cs 3.1.8.

The card is a Trust Netlink Combi, and it is recognized
as NE2000 Compatible.

This is the output of "ifconfig eth0":

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:C8:8B:5C:9E  
          inet addr:192.168.1.3  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0x300

and this is the output of "netstat -r":
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
localnet        *               255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0

If I do a ping from the Acer to another host, or from another
host to the Acer, noone respond.

This is the output of "tcpdump -i eth0" on the Acer, doing
a ping from the Acer to another host in the net (mu is
the Acer Travelmate, yang is the other computer).

11:07:35.711389 mu.change.fake > yang.change.fake: icmp: echo request
11:07:36.703568 mu.change.fake > yang.change.fake: icmp: echo request
11:07:40.703457 arp who-has yang.change.fake tell mu.change.fake
11:07:41.703456 arp who-has yang.change.fake tell mu.change.fake
11:07:42.703449 arp who-has yang.change.fake tell mu.change.fake
11:07:43.703448 arp who-has yang.change.fake tell mu.change.fake

And so on.
This is the output for a tcpdump on the Acer for a ping from an host in the net to the Acer:
11:06:54.933617 arp who-has mu.change.fake tell yang.change.fake
11:06:54.933719 arp reply mu.change.fake is-at 0:80:c8:8b:5c:9e
11:06:55.933600 arp who-has mu.change.fake tell yang.change.fake
11:06:55.933667 arp reply mu.change.fake is-at 0:80:c8:8b:5c:9e
11:06:56.933594 arp who-has mu.change.fake tell yang.change.fake
11:06:56.933640 arp reply mu.change.fake is-at 0:80:c8:8b:5c:9e

And this is the output for the same ping on the other host:
12:06:37.406405 arp who-has mu tell yang
12:06:38.400825 arp who-has mu tell yang
12:06:39.400781 arp who-has mu tell yang


Another thing: the "collisions" led of the Trust Netlink Combi blinks a lot...

So the problem is: am I an idiot on configuring this network card or does the card have some problems?

Thanks.

1. The usual: system log messages?? by David Hinds, 2000, Jan 06

This form allows you to delete, move, or copy one or more messages. You can move messages by copying and deleting the original. The action will be applied to the messages you select above and all replies to those selected messages.

If you want to copy or move messages, specify the HyperNews path of a destination forum or message that all messages will be copied or moved to. The destination must already exist, so maybe create it first.

Path of Destination (a Forum or Message): (e.g. "test")

Notify Subscribers at destination
NO

If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages
NO

Caution: After deleteing messages (the default), if you have not copied them (i.e. no destination above), then the selected messages are not be recoverable.
