File service shall be provided for MacOS clients, too, by netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3. The problem is - appletalk services don't start via ti0; they do if I use the on-board fast ethernet card (3c90x, xl driver). Here is what happens with ti0: Aug 7 14:59:04 gwdu60 /kernel: ti0: gigabit link up Aug 7 14:59:56 gwdu60 atalkd[259]: zip_getnetinfo sendto: Network is down Aug 7 14:59:56 gwdu60 atalkd[259]: bootaddr (zip_getnetinfo): Network is down Aug 7 14:59:56 gwdu60 atalkd[259]: difaddr(0.0): Can't assign requested address Aug 7 14:59:56 gwdu60 atalkd: difaddr(0.0): Can't assign requested address Aug 7 14:59:58 gwdu60 afpd[268]: main: atp_open: Can't assign requested address Aug 7 14:59:57 gwdu60 /kernel: ti0: gigabit link up I don't where the problem comes from. It it probably a FreeBSD kernel problem or a problem with our LAN equipment? As a workaround I decided to make IP traffic go via ti0 and AppleTalk traffic via xl0. At first sight this seems to be possible but will it really be? I see some messages in the log which make me doubt: Aug 7 19:01:36 gwdu60 /kernel: aarp: duplicate AT address!! 0:60:8:f6:23:ec Aug 7 19:01:36 gwdu60 /kernel: aarpprobe why did this happen?! What may be the reason? Thanks for any reply!
