I've got a strange behaviour of an Adaptec 62022 Dual NIC card ("DuraLink"), which is supposed to work with the "starfire" driver.
The card is detected and the link established, but I can't send packets to the Ethernet, nor do I receive packets.
However, when doing tcpdump on the interface, I *see* e.g. ICMP packets which come from a ping from another host to this machine; but my card doesn't seem to feel responsible for those packets (the destination MAC address matches my card's address). Besides, it doesn't send ARP responses, either. The ping packets look like this:
10:33:38.873296 0:0:7d:8c:e3:a8 > 0:0:d1:d9:0:0 null I (s=0,r=42,C) len=80
10:33:39.873086 0:0:7d:8c:e3:a8 > 0:0:d1:d9:0:0 null I (s=0,r=42,C) len=80
10:33:40.872854 0:0:7d:8c:e3:a8 > 0:0:d1:d9:0:0 null I (s=0,r=42,C) len=80
I tried 2.4.20 and 2.4.21 kernels, both with the driver compiled in and as module. The routing and interface settings are correct, because replacing the Adaptec card with another card makes it work fine. The card itself is unlikely to be the culprit, as I have two of those cards, both with identical behaviour.
Any help or hints appreciated...
