A classic ethernet mixup is the bit ordering of the MAC address. The ethernet sends the data LSB-first so, when you set your MAC, you have to bit-reverse the bytes from what you would normally think. This is horribly confusing. Suggestions: Sniff your transmissions with ethereal and see if the MAC address ethereal is showing is what you expect to see. Bit-reverse the MAC you program in and see if it starts working.

hi, I am facing a very unique problem with smc9111 driver. I am able to send packets over the wire and I am able to receive all broadcast packets. But I am able to receive only broadcast packets. If any packet with destination as my MAC address I am not able to see it. Has anyone else seen this problem before ?? regards -kshitij
