[coLinux-users] colinux 0.6.2 with pcap (snapshot coLinux-20040710)

[Andreas B. <and...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I would like to use 0.6.2 with bridged network. 

I tried my working configuration from 0.6.1 but I was not able to bring up
the network, in NEWS I found that PCAP-handling changed:

"Changed PCAP handling to use Connection Name instead of
Adapter/Device/Driver name. Name is +now uniform between PCAP & TAP and
multiple devices of the same/make/model should be able to be connected to.
(George Boutwell)"

What excatly does that mean for my bridged network configuration? 

Output with my old network definition:

<network index="0" name="b57w2k0 Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Driver"
type="bridged" />

Result:

: Calibrating delay loop... Looking for interface "b57w2k0 Broadcom
NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Driver"
: Adapter Generic NdisWan adapter doesn't have a connection
: Checking connection: Local Area Connection 2
: 0.00 BogoMIPS
: Checking connection: TAP-Win32
: Checking connection: Local Area Connection
: No matching adapter
: Error initializing winPCap

It seams PCAP needs "Local Area Connection", so I tried with

<network index="0" name="Local Area Connection" type="bridged" />

Result:

: Listening for: (ether dst 00:43:4f:4e:45:30) or (ether broadcast or

Well, as I understand the console, the used interface is "tap0801co15
TAP-Win32 Adapter V8 (coLinux)" and not "Local Area Connection", I even got
an MAC-Address but unfortunately eth0 doesn't work.

What do I miss?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers, 
Andreas
