Hello,

I have a machine with National Semiconductor DP83815 (MacPhyter) ethernet adapter. The network is 10Base-2.

On this site they say it works. I tried it with debian live (kernel 2.6.24). It recognizes the adapter, and lets me configure it like everything is all right.

After I do all that I get no ping.

On the same machines under Windows it works flawlessly.

Relevant logs (The localhost is 192.168.0.1, the other machine is equivalent and its address is 192.168.0.2):
