Are you by chance using iptables? I just now was
suffering a weird problem where the interface would
come up, but I couldn't access anything. Completely
unloading all of the iptables modules, then bringing
the interface back up seemed to work. Apparently,
the packets would go out, but the returns were getting
filtered. But funny, even flushing all of the rules
did not help the situation.
This with kernel 2.4.14. I'm not sure why this
problem started showing up, since I've been using the
same configuration for almost 3 months.
