Hello,
just a short warning: after debugging and testing it last night,
I made using ARP default for the A2060 driver ("bah").
If you use it with the (ARP-wise broken) AmiTCP-3.0beta releases,
set the link2 flag. AmiTCP 4.x should be ok.
Amiga-specific compatibility notes:
AS225 and I225 cannot talk ARP, to my knowledge. I dont know about MIAMI.
For a change, Linux, at least on -i386, at least last time I looked (last
June), didn't support NOARP correctly (it creates broadcasts, which is plain
wrong).
To get the old behaviour, just
ifconfig bah0 -arp
To support single non-ARP hosts, create a proxy arp entry for them with
arp -s stupidhost STUPIDHOSTHEXADRESS
