I replaced 100Base-T switch with 10Base-T hub but the result was same -- TCP works fine and AppleTalk does not. I tried /dev/vx (Vortex 3COM PCI 10Base-T), /dev/rl (RealTek 8159), Linksys LNE100TX so far. All else work fine with same software, same hardware and same network setting. Since NBP is not coming out from /dev/tl?, I can not see the AppleShare server. FreeBSD can not see any of other AppleTalk devices on the net either. >How-To-Repeat: Install 4.1-STABLE. Install Compaq Netelligennt card. (Many Compaq machine come with this card anyway.) Install netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3. Set up netatalk and run it. Connect any other AppleTalk device to the network. run nbplkup. It does not show any other AppleTalk device such as other Macs or AppleTalk enabled printers. >Fix: Buy a new ethernet (non Thunder Lan) card. (But, yes, it would be nice if it got fixed.) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
