Greetings all,

I have just downloaded the CAP port for FreeBSD so I could print to
one of our local appletalk printers.  I have got stuck at aarpd.
When I run aarpd lo0 "*", the following error occurs:

open: /dev/bpfXX: Device not configured ....

The device bpf0 does exist.  The FAQ suggests trying aarp bpf0 "*"
for a similar problem but I didn't have any luck with this either.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a neubie who just wants to print to
an appletalk printer?  

Paul Wolstenholme

P.S. Running FreeBSD 2.1.5 on a 486DX
