Mark Dawson <md@dcs.qmw.ac.uk> provided the port of netatalk to FreeBSD.
His original port worked on 2.0.5-RELEASE. I tried it on 2.0.5-STABLE
and sent him a couple of small diffs. Netatalk works on a STABLE system
with a few caveats:
(1) Your ethernet card must support multicast. I have a 3c509, so
I had to dig up a multicast patch that Sege Babkin's has for the
ep0 device driver. With the patch applied, I get sporadic error
message to the console "Ep0: Status: 2002 (input buffer overflow)".
However, I haven't noticed any damaged files.
(2) I get an error "ddp_route: oops" periodically on the console. I've
located the source of the error, but I do not know what the fix is (or
even if this is a problem). Again, I have not notice any corruption of
files.
