It seems both ends does not see any frames at all. I thought axe(4)
sent wrong ethernet address to the other end but tcpdump output you
posted makes me wonder cabling issue. I'm not sure whether
rgephy(4) used in axe(4) can handle automatic MDI/MDIX crossover
but rlphy(4) surely lacks the capability. Can you retest it with
crossover cable instead of straight UTP cable?
Also your tcpdump seems to indicate both hosts are trying to send
packets. This makes it hard to know which part of NIC is not
working. Send ICMP echo request on one host(e.g. ping(8)) and
capture traffic on both sender and receiver side and post the
result again.
