Donald,
Here's an interesting note that might shed some light on my netatalk
problem.
I Have two nearly identical machines running 2.0.29+ISS and your latest
tulip.c driver. (v0.83 I believe)
one machine has an SMC EtherPower 10/100 (DC21140) card.
the other machine has an SMC EhterPower 10 (DS21041) card.
both have the latest netatalk source + the asun17 patch which
makes things quite up to date.
The DS21041 card works perfectly using the tulip driver
the DC21140 card works perfectly using the de4x5 driver but
fails to work with the tulip driver, even if allmulti and/or
promicuous mode is enabled.
by works perfectly I mean that `nbplkup` sees all the appletalk
object on the network. In the case of the DC21140+tulip driver
filesharing works ok but `nbplkup` only sees the netatalk server
and no other machines.
Do you (or anybody on the netatalk mailing list who've been cc'ed
here) have any idea on what is the difficulty? I would rather be
using the tulip driver for these cards since they in general
better drivers I believe.
