Device driver problem

I am writing a device driver for the Western Digital 8003e ethernet card
on an IBM RT running AOS4.3 (the BSD4.3 port) and its coming along well but I
have run into a problem. When the new interface (wd0) is ifconfiged
and the existing interface (un0) is ifconfiged down all TCP traffic dies,
and the only UDP traffic (NFS and NTP) is to/from machines listed in the
"/etc/hosts" file. ICMP traffic is unaffected - in fact ping to/from this
machine works great. I have traced this problem in the telnet code to the
"connect" call - this guy fails with a timeout error. Any suggestions???
Thanks again.
Mike
