Short ago, there was an issue to patch ddp.c ind the Kernel to fix a similar Bug. Unfortunaltely I cannot find further information about it.

You may get an used Apple LocalTalk PC Board. I stayed in tight contact with the author of the corresponding driver, 'cause I had problems to use netatalk as a router between LocalTalk and Ethernet. He thought, he got the point but then the card won't initialize anymore in my system. With the DOS driver, there is no problem, so I ought a initialisation problem with the driver (the DOS driver also takes MUCH longer to initialize it).
I don't speak C, so I cannot doit myself. Has anyone another LTPC Board and the knowledge to debug, what the DOS driver does with it, to apply this to the Linux driver?
Gruss, PoC
