ifconfig/phlip won't show en0 interface with the big stack

Hi everyone

I’m working on porting the linux driver for a BCM4400 based ethernetcards.
It works fine when using either the small tcpip stack or the ‘big’ one
when using the option external_arp, however, if I don’t use the
external_arp option, my interface (en0) won’t show up with ifconfig or
with phlip (however there is a entry in /dev/io-net/).

Any ideas what may cause this?

Thanks in advance

BTW; if anyone is interested in trying a pre-release version of this
driver,feel free to let me know here or by mail and i’ll send you a
copy… yep, I’m writing this on that card ^_^.

Something is wrong with your advertise packet. A common
gotcha is not initializing npkt->tot_iov = 1 therein.
