I first saw the problem on the 64x2 box after upgrading to 2.6.19. The
network appeared OK with ifconfig and route -n, but I had no network

This Bcast isn't probably what you need.

Corrected on the one box where it was not correct, problem is still there.

There are many things to suspect yet:
- firewall,
- switch,
- routing,
- ifconfig,
- other misonfigured box,
- connecting
and so on.

I think you should try with some linux networking group
at first and if you really think it's driver then
netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (instead of linux-kernel@).

If you could send full ifconfig, route -n (or ip route
if you use additional tables) and tcpdump (all packets)
from both boxes while pinging each other and a few words
how it is connected (other cards, other active boxes in
the network?) maybe something more could be found.

Cheers,

PS: Sorry for late responding.
