Could you tell more details on the problem you are trying to solve
now. Sorry, but I fail to see what errors you get, and why. Doesn't
the Service Processor on the other side of that little Ethernet
link behave as a conventional IP host?

Well it sort of does and it sort of doesn't unfortunately. It's MAC
addresses are faked in the driver on both sides, and any ARP requests
are caught and a fake response is generated. It's a wee bit ugly.

The problem I'm really seeing is I'm getting no mbuf's in my
jnet_start(). It always returns zero.

static void
jnet_start_locked(struct ifnet* ifp)
{
// {{{
struct jnet_softc *sc = ifp->if_softc;

struct mbuf *m0, *m;

device_printf(sc->dev, "jnet_start_locked() called.\n");

JNET_ASSERT_LOCKED(sc);

outputloop:

// Check if there are buffered packets and an we're idle which
// shouldn't happen at this point
if (sc->txb_inuse && (sc->tx_busy == 0)) {
device_printf(sc->dev, "packets buffered, but tx
idle.\n");
jnet_tx(sc);
}

// Check if there is room to put another packet in the buffer.
if (sc->txb_inuse == sc->txb_cnt) {

device_printf(sc->dev, "No room left in tx buffer.\n");

// No room left. Set OACTIVE to tell everyone
ifp->if_drv_flags |= IFF_DRV_OACTIVE;
return;
}

IFQ_DRV_DEQUEUE(&ifp->if_snd, m);

if (m == 0) {

device_printf(sc->dev, "m == 0.\n");

// If buffers aren't filled we can still accept
// more packets. So reset OACTIVE
ifp->if_drv_flags &= ~IFF_DRV_OACTIVE;
return;
}

// Copy mbuf to PRS
m0 = m;

//set address counter to zero, then read the entire fifo
//bus_space_write_1(sc->iot[JNET_IOREGS], sc->ioh[JNET_IOREGS],
JNET_STS_OFFSET, 0x00);


device_printf(sc->dev, "mbuf len: %i.\n", m0->m_len);

// Output to PRS buffer
[...]

sc->txb_inuse++;

m_freem(m0);

// Loop to top to possibly buffer more packets
goto outputloop;


// }}}

... and I get these ARP errors.

Many thanks for you continued help.
