I'll go back through and try to reproduce the issues and document how I worked around it.
That's great :)
Okay - I missed this as when I was stepping through the installer I didn't bother with any of the networking stuff. However there is definitely a bug here - running tcpdump on the bridge interface shows data packets with junk in them rather than a proper DHCP request, so I'm wondering if OpenBIOS doesn't initialise something in the NIC correctly? Or maybe it's another alignment issue with the the LANCE buffers?
Anyway, I'll take a look but it may take me a little time to figure out what's going on.
Let me know if I can provide any further information. Sounds like you've reproduced the issue, but if I can provide any additional help, I'm happy to do so.
Okay - I now have a patch which appears to solve the issue here after numerous of hours debugging. I'll clean it up and post it to the list in a few minutes for you to test.
ATB,
Mark.
