All other OS/2 NIC drivers have the possibility to set the MAC address to something different of own choice.

This feature is missing from this driver.

Please add it.

It is also missing in e1000e driver.

Output from loading the driver is always helpfull, if it doesn't work correctly - but if it does - no one needs it.

Output to screen during config.sys processing is completely useless, as no one can 'catch' what they need.

GOOD NIC drivers DO:

• Never output to screen (to not break graphic boot logo) (can be forced by a user chosen option (/V)) unless the driver fails to initialize.

• Always output usefull info to LANTRAN.LOG file.

(this might be errors, or 'I loaded OK - resources are xxxx')

This ticket should have been assigned to component 'common' but that does unfortunately not exist (please add :-) )

Hardware:

Asrock A330GC MoBo? with ATOM CPU. Onboard Realtek Gigabit LAN 8111DL chip. (+ an extra 8139 card in PCI slot).

It seems that output goes out to network fine, but the driver ignores input 75% of the time.

When I try to ping another PC on network, it does send out the pings, and other PC answers all the time - but the answers are never 'received'. Then, after maybe 100 pings, driver suddenly works for a little time and then stops again. Out of 1000 pings - 75% is lost.

It looks like there is open for input in 15 secs, and then closed again for 45 secs.

It is possible to pull a web page down, if I hit the right moment.

Tried NETBEUI too - it is basically the same. If I hit the right moment, I can view resources from net; but otherwise nothing comes in.

I tried RXCHAIN=NO - but it didn't change anything.
