After installing 2.2-RELEASE on the laptop, I am no longer able to set up
a PLIP connection properly. I have a 2.1.7-running gateway to which laptop
is connected. After ifconfig and adding a route, I can reach the gateway
and any FreeBSD machine on the local network, but neither AIX machines nor
the router (MorningStar) respond. Has anyone had this problem? PLIP worked
while there was 2.1.0-RELEASE on the laptop. Is there something different
about routed and lp0 in this release?

PS: YES, I tried turning tcp_extensions off. It makes no difference.
