I have been trying to get the cap package running on two FreeBSD 3.0-970209-SNAP machines for the longest time. One has a DEC-205 EtherWORKS III card and the other a 3Com ep0. Both of them will not run CAP installed as either a package or a port. Both fail with an SIOCADDMULTI error...the same error. I was willing to believe that this was a problem with the le0 driver until I encountered it with 3Com. I have 16 bpfilters compiled into my kernel, all configured(0-15) in /dev, and CAP will not work. I think I've tried everything. I wrote Max, who maintains the port, and he seemed to think it was the card...now I'm not so sure. I've also tried to compile netatalk-1.4b2 with no luck. I can hack it to get it to compile, but it seems to have multicast problems, too. I've compiled in NETATALK and MROUTING in my kernel with no effect. So my question has two parts really: 1. Is there anything special I need to do to get CAP or netatalk running with 3.0-970209-SNAP? 2. What is the BEST ethernet card to use with FreeBSD? I've tried using the fxp0 (Intel 100 Base-T), but it craps out if network traffic gets too high. I couldn't keep it on the network for more than 30 minutes at a time. I appreciate any help anyone can offer. -Joe Marcus
