Hi again

After the upgrade to Linux 2.4.0-test2, the self test of the Intel 82559
based NIC (on a StrongArm eval board) seems to work quite good, but now i 
have a new problem.

Found Intel i82557 PCI Speedo, MMIO at 0x4080000, IRQ 22.

IP-Config: Auto-configuration of network failed.

My BOOTP server gets the request and responses to it, but the
reply seems to get lost.
As the FR bit in the status register is set, i think that the 
reply packet was received, but not further processed.


TIA
