More precisely the board is a "Marvell Armada XP Development Board

anymore. Using tcpdump on both the buildd and a remote host, it appears
that the packets correctly leave the board and that the reception side
fails.

If you can send to a remote host at least ARP (or ND) must be working,
so some reception still works, right?

I have to try again, but what i have seen is the ARP requests from
hartmann arriving to the other hosts on the subnet. Steve McIntyre
(added in Cc:) confirmed me on IRC being able to reproduce the issue on
another board.

I confirm that. Basically on the other hosts of the same subnet, I can
see the ARP requests:

18:23:45.979860 ARP, Request who-has 172.28.17.1 tell 172.28.17.18, length 46
18:23:47.002990 ARP, Request who-has 172.28.17.1 tell 172.28.17.18, length 46
18:23:48.027262 ARP, Request who-has 172.28.17.1 tell 172.28.17.18, length 46
18:23:52.004248 ARP, Request who-has 172.28.17.1 tell 172.28.17.18, length 46
18:23:53.019252 ARP, Request who-has 172.28.17.1 tell 172.28.17.18, length 46
18:23:54.043276 ARP, Request who-has 172.28.17.1 tell 172.28.17.18, length 46
18:23:58.027937 ARP, Request who-has 172.28.17.1 tell 172.28.17.18, length 46

172.28.17.1 is the gateway, 172.28.17.18 is hartmann.d.o.

Is it possible to test a few things on hartmann? I'd suggest:

 - try (vanilla) 5.1-rc6 with MVNETA=y

I have tried 5.1-rc7 with:

CONFIG_MVNETA_BM_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_MVNETA=y
CONFIG_MVNETA_BM=y

and also with

CONFIG_MVNETA_BM_ENABLE=m
CONFIG_MVNETA=m
CONFIG_MVNETA_BM=m

And the mvneta network driver is not able to receive data in both cases.

Best regards,
Aurelien
