[microblaze-uclinux] Problems with networking

["Hansen Eric" <hansen@shf-communication.de>]

Hi all,

I've been reading this list for quite a while and finally
thought that I should give uClinux a try. The demo kernel 
from the demo package worked 'out of box' on our own hardware
(v2p50). Good job you have done. 
Even my self-compiled kernel run at first time.
After playing a litte game of avent4 :) i decided
to connect my system to the outside world. With little
success up to today. Nevertheless I made some progress
the last two days, as I found some errors in my hardware
project:

- Link led ist alight
- /proc/net is accessible
- ifconfig works as expected
- ping of the local ip
- ifconfig reports a number of rx and tx packages
  with tx being exactly the number of packages
  send by ping
- my hub seems to receive something, at least the
  led on my hub is flickering when ping is 
  sending ist packages

The only problem is thst somehow no connection is
established. I ran ethereal on my pc to watch the
activity on the net, but it did not receive anything
I've tripple checked my edk project and i am quite
shure that everything is ok with it.
So I guess my problem is either in the kernel
configuration. I compared it to the configuration
john posted here. Unfortunately ./linux-2.4.x/.configure is
missing. In the configuration process i turned on:

ethernet driver
networking support
tcp/ip networking,
unix domain sockets
ethernet (10 or 100MBit)

after booting the kernel I used ifconfig to configure
the network:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.242 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up

furthermore i experimented with route.

Has anyone an idea what I am missing?

Thanks in advance
Erik
