Jay -
dmesg reports the following:
tulip.c:v0.91g-ppc 7/16/99 ">becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov
eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC rev 17 at 0xd000, 00:A0:CC:20:97:AD, IRQ 9.
eth0: MII transceiver #1 config 3100 status 782b advertising 01e1.
Do you think it would make a difference if MULTICAST were turned off instead
of on? I know that when I had my two-machine setup at home (crossover
cable), nothing worked right until the Intel EtherExpress 8/16 on one end
had MULTICAST turned off.
