I hear that the problem with ep0 is that it does not support multicasting. I don't know if this problem has been addressed. Over a month ago, I posted an article to one of the FreeBSD newsgroups and to the appletalk newsgroup. I did not get any help from the net, but somebody suggested that I send my question to bugs@freebsd.org. With the exception of CAP, everything about FreeBSD seems superior to Linux. I used Linux for about 5 months before I switch to FreeBSD. Unfortunately, CAP does not work (although it compiles) despite the fact that I have the latest FreeBSD patches (patchlevel 195). The FreeBSD patch for CAP explains that it will only work for the "ed" ethernet driver. Any help or advice that you can give me will be appreciated. - Leo Cazares
