Subject:   Inverse ARP on PVCs again

Hi,

Thanks for your replies.
Still I got problems with the PVC which requires
inverse ARP. Maybe I got a configuration
problem?
Currently I'm using
- FreeBSD 3.1
- atm set netif...
- atm attach .. UNI31
- atm set prefix .. (to get UNI to the INIT state)
- ifconfig at0 ...
- atm add PVC ... LLC .. dynamic

Because it may be that the driver at the
distant end of the PVC is broken:
I was unable to locate the HARP code which actually
implements Inverse ARP requests and replies.
Maybe someone could point me to that code?

Thanks again,

Titus
