Hi,

I am using smc91111.c driver of u-boot. all my network functionalities

are working well.

...

i am able to ping an other ip address and i get a message that the host

is alive or not.

...

Only problem is, when someone pings the target ip (my network card ip),

it says destination not reachable.

...

Is this really a problem? if so, pls help me solving it.

regards vidya

There is no ICMP reply support in current u-boot.

I have some custom patches that can do that but I haven't yet submitted, and even when I will there is no guarantee that they'll make it, since they require pretty big changes to the networking code.

I can imagine the magnitude of the required changes, and I agree that it's very unlikely that I would accept such a big reorganization for such a little gain.

Well, obviously that the ping works is only a small side-effect.

Anyway, since u-boot is GPL, I have to at least offer my changes to the community. If they are rejected is no big deal...

Hello Wolfgang,

There hasn't been much more discussion on this possible contribution to the U-Boot mainline. And I haven't had a chance to look at the latest CVS source - was a patch ever submitted for ICMP reply support?

In your previous message, it looked like the patch would not be accepted if it required a massive code overhaul.

Thank you and best regards, Andy

I see. So I better keep my mouth shut and have a look at the code before whining. Sorry.

So far your contributions were well accepted, I think.
