Problems with DEC Etherworks 3

[Darryl Bond <dbond@nrggos.com.au>]

Hi,
I have compiled and built a bootrom using the DEC Etherworks 3 packet
driver from the DEC site.

It requires an interrupt between 60-80 as a command line to the packet
driver.
I have successfully used the floppy boot and the packet driver seems to
find the card Ok.

It finds the card at IRQ5 IO:300 Memory Address:D000 memory Mode:2k
Ethernet Address:08-00-2B-BC-FE-50

Found Packet Driver at int 60 (I have tried several interrupts with
similar effect)

It starts sending bootp requests.
I have snooped the wire and found:

OLD-BROADCAST -> BROADCAST    DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREQUEST
        lady -> 203.4.168.242 DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREPLY
OLD-BROADCAST -> BROADCAST    DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREQUEST
        lady -> 203.4.168.242 DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREPLY
OLD-BROADCAST -> BROADCAST    DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREQUEST
        lady -> 203.4.168.242 DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREPLY
OLD-BROADCAST -> BROADCAST    DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREQUEST
        lady -> 203.4.168.242 DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREPLY
OLD-BROADCAST -> BROADCAST    DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREQUEST
        lady -> 203.4.168.242 DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREPLY
OLD-BROADCAST -> BROADCAST    DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREQUEST
        lady -> 203.4.168.242 DHCP/BOOTP BOOTREPLY

Bootp running on a sun box in -d4 debug mode prints the following

bootpd: info(6):   recvd pkt from IP addr 0.0.0.0
bootpd: info(6):   bootptab mtime: Wed Mar  1 12:18:36 2000
bootpd: info(6):   request from Ethernet address 08:00:2B:BC:FE:50
bootpd: info(6):   found 203.4.168.242 (dectest)
bootpd: info(6):   bootfile="/lts/vmlinuz.3COM"
bootpd: info(6):   vendor magic field is 99.130.83.99
bootpd: info(6):   sending reply (with RFC1048 options)
bootpd: info(6):   setarp 203.4.168.242 - 08:00:2B:BC:FE:50

The same settings on a different 3C509 card (with the right MAC address)
booted correctly.

I does not seem to do anything after the initial request. It cannot be
pinged after bootpd has sent its reply etc. 

TIA
Darryl Bond
