- Subject: [ECOS] N00blet question on networking
Ok, so I have redboot working. Further I can build a libtarget.a with a
basic set of options, I tried the simple program to get data from the
console and echo it back, and I can boot redboot, 'load -h <my server>
simple' and 'go' to run it. All's cool.
So I used ecosconfig to add in CYGPKG_NET and FREEBSD_STACK and ETH_DRIVERS
(actually there was a point where I had no conflicts but a couple of
ethernet driver files were missing, its a CDL bug but I've not assured
myself that I know enough about what I'm doing to call it a bug outright
yet ;-)
Now I can build the httpd1.c test and when I run it this is what I get:
----------------------------------------------------

[eth_drv_ioctl] Warning: Driver can't set multi-cast mode
----------------------------------------
Ok, but when I do this, there doesn't seem to be any way to talk to my
target board. Eventually it prints :
BOOTP/DHCP failed on eth0
[eth_drv_ioctl] Warning: Driver can't set multi-cast mode
[eth_drv_ioctl] Warning: Driver can't set multi-cast mode
Which seems unusual given that DHCP worked fine for Redboot.
So here are some questions:
What should this test print when it works? Should I be able to ping my
target after using init_all_network_interfaces() ? What is different
between Redboot's use of my driver and ECOS's use of the driver?
