My apologies if you got this twice.  (sendmail was broken the last time,
and I couldn't find any mention of this in maillog.)

I've read the FAQ, of course.

Subject: Ethernet on a IIci / IP masquerading

nubus0 at mainbus0
nubus0: slot c: MacMainFrame II (Vendor: Avatar Technologies Inc., Part:
04-0054-B00)  not configured
ae0 at nubus0: address 00:00:00:00:00:00, type Ethernet A-Series, 16k mem.

I didn't expect the MacMainFrame to work (it's an *old* 10base2 card), but
ae0 should.  The link LEDs turn green on both the card and the hub.
192.0.2.0/24 is routed through ae0; however, there is little or no
activity on the hub whenever I pingflood a host on that network.

It's a Sonic Systems Ether TwP Mac II in slot D.  Works fine in MacOS on
my IIfx & IIci without any special drivers.

I still have the original packaging, installation disk (with 24-page
electronic manual), QuickStart guide, etc.

Might it be a quirk in the card's Apple Ethernet emulation?  Should I
consider buying a different card?

Also, is there any form of IP masquerading/forwarding in NetBSD 1.2.1 or
current?  I know it's in FreeBSD...

Thanks!

Tris

PS: "One shortcoming of the Apple Ethernet drivers is that they can only
     address 16K of RAM.  If you purchased one of Sonic Systems' A1 cards
     with 64K of RAM, you will want to install Sonic's Ethernet drivers
     from the Ethernet Installer diskette included with the card.  Please
     note that the A1 cards will function fine with Apple's EtherTalk
     drivers, but only 16K of the 64K of RAM will be used."
