Okay, so anyone gotten the datel LAN adapter to work? I got one and it utterly fails to work. Sniffing the connection reveals that it is ignoring every packet that it receives.
First I used the default settings. When it requests an IP address via dhcp and receives one it just waits a bit and then sends another request. Does this a few times and then appears to tell the Wii that it never received an address. When I assigned a static IP it sends an ARP packet requesting a route to the gateway and then ignores that as well. Resends a few ARP requests and then quits out on self test.
I can't think of how this could possible matter (it's sending standard IP traffic) but I'm connecting to a netgear switch, to another netgear switch to a linux router. All the switches check out fine and dhcp works fine. Also there are no outbound traffic restrictions and there was nothing incoming rejected that could possibly have been send to the Wii.
Anyone else seen problems like this?
