We have been using the patched version from 3am-software.com on a couple of our FreeBSD Machines here. When I tried to start atalkd (part of the netatalk package) the machine lost its mind on the ethernet after 2-3 minutes. Doing a "ifconfig down de0" on the interface seemed to work. I'm not positive this is a de driver problem. We are using the patched version to get the NetGear 10/100 cards to work. It could be something with the default "atalk.conf" that the package installs, since it runs fine on a machine with a SMC card 10/100 de0 card. I will try to track the problem down further, I just haven't had time. Just wanted to make sure to speak up with the 2.2.5-BETA and all in progress. Both machines are running 2.2-STABLE that was cvsup'd and "buildworld"'d in the last week or so. Neither are production servers, so they are available for testing if necessary. - Steve -- C.
