[9fans] network and graphics problems

[will551]

hi guys
Im having a bit of a problem setting up my plan9 network.
I have a proteon P1370-EA card with an AT/LANTIC chip
which gets recognised at boot as the following:
#l0 NE2000: 10Mbps port 0x300 irq 9 addr 0x4000 size 0x4000: 000093842A1F
(it is recognised under linux as a NE*000 card)
I have a linux gateway on my local hubbed network through which a linux box
can talk to
a dos box. Its ip is 10.5.1.15.
I used:
ip/ipconfig -g 10.5.1.15 ether /net/ether0 10.5.1.18 255.255.255.0
to config my plan9 box.
My /net/iproute is:
0.0.0.0 /96 10.5.1.15 4 none -
10.0.0.0 /128 10.0.0.0 46 ifc -
10.5.1.0 /120 10.5.1.0 4i ifc 0
10.5.1.0 /128 10.5.1.0 4b ifc -
.
.
.
when I try pinging my Linux gateway:
ip/ping 10.5.1.15
of
my other Linux box
ip/ping 10.5.1.8
I get a message simalar to:
Sending 32 messages 1 second apart
and then after about 32 seconds it tells me all the packets were lost.
Is there some way that I can get this working?

Also Im having a problem with a MACH64CT-C2 card which doesnt seem to be
refreshing the
screen? It worked fine on the install but now with rio its not working
properly?
anyone know fixes for these?

The most likely cause is the IRQ selection, in my experience.  If
Linux recognises the adapter and is able to use it, it will probably
disclose the right IRQ setting.

Unfortunately, trial and error is a painful way to get there
otherwise.

It looks to me that you have everything configured correctly.

The first thing to do is to snoop your network and see if you're
seeing any packets at all.  If you're on a switch, you'll only
see broadcasts or packets sent to it, so you should try pinging
it from one of the other systems.  To snoop just type 'snoopy'
with no args.  It'll dump any ether packets it sees on ether0.

If you see nothing, the usual problem is the IRQ being used by
the ether.  You might try moving it from 9 to 11.
