      My testing with the FA310TX and tulip.c v0.91 4/14/99 is entirely
consistent with what you saw:  hub (not switch), traffic to the other node,
system with the FA310TX sees the ARP request but not the reply, and a third
system on the hub can see all the packets (request and reply) just fine.
Turning on promisc did cause the ARP to succeed, but my 2.2.9 kernel
then hung soon (a few minutes) afterward.  (I have not tracked down
the hang so far.)
