For what are multiple physical addresses needed when using LAT? Am I doing right when thinking of ethernet-address when reading the words 'physical address' ? The reason why I was asking for LAT support is that I have some DECserver 200/MC which I supposedly wanted to get work with FreeBSD. Mickey -- (__) (@@) Andreas S.
