Hmmmm...if I try and ping the NetBSD pvc0 interface, tcpdump shows me this:

13:59:43.581195 arp-#8
                         0013 0800 0000 0008 0400 0000 c0a8 0a02

I'm trying to ping 192.168.10.1 from 192.168.10.2.

I also saw one of these:

pvc0: recv'd invalid LLC/SNAP frame [vp=0,vc=100]

Hmm, how would one write an ARP server for ATM or find docs on what needs
to happen for one to work ?
