I'm running netatalk 1.4b2 on a 1.3F kernel with a Ether3 card in the
machine. atalkd dies when starting. Looking at the source, this seems to
be when the interface is being configured for multicast:

ifconfig( iface->i_name, SIOCADDMULTI, &sa)

I suspect this means that the ea0 driver does not support multicast.
Replacing the card by a EtherH works find (so I guess ne0 does support
multicast).

Can anyone confirm or deny this?
