Re: [9fans] ether2114x - can't ping gateway

["Federico Benavento" <benavento@gmail.com>]

hola,

my guess is that some interrupts are not being set up right
if the card works in promiscuos mode and it doesn't the other
way, it's because the card doesn't know its own mac address.
but this is not your case, I would check what the linux driver does
to see what we are not doing right.
yes, reading linux drivers is a PIA, but sometimes it's your only choice.
maybe someone has already done this and can help you.

good luck

just my 2 cents
