I just completed with building a file server with 4.1-RELEASE and a 3Com
3c985-SX gigabit card (ti driver). File service shall be provided for
MacOS clients, too, by netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3.

The problem is - appletalk services don't start via ti0; they do if I use
the on-board fast ethernet card (3c90x, xl driver).

Here is what happens with ti0:

Aug  7 14:59:04 gwdu60 /kernel: ti0: gigabit link up
Aug  7 14:59:56 gwdu60 atalkd[259]: zip_getnetinfo sendto: Network is down
Aug  7 14:59:56 gwdu60 atalkd[259]: bootaddr (zip_getnetinfo): Network is
down
Aug  7 14:59:56 gwdu60 atalkd[259]: difaddr(0.0): Can't assign requested
address
Aug  7 14:59:56 gwdu60 atalkd: difaddr(0.0): Can't assign requested
address
Aug  7 14:59:58 gwdu60 afpd[268]: main: atp_open: Can't assign requested
address
Aug  7 14:59:57 gwdu60 /kernel: ti0: gigabit link up

I don't where the problem comes from. It it probably a FreeBSD kernel
problem or a problem with our LAN equipment?

As a workaround I decided to make IP traffic go via ti0 and AppleTalk
traffic via xl0. At first sight this seems to be possible but will it
really be? I see some messages in the log which make me doubt:

Aug  7 19:01:36 gwdu60 /kernel: aarp: duplicate AT
address!! 0:60:8:f6:23:ec
Aug  7 19:01:36 gwdu60 /kernel: aarpprobe why did this happen?!

What may be the reason?

Thanks for any reply!
