Re: Issues with Netatalk and MACE

I saw that, too, when I was looking for answers.  However, the problem seems to 
be that the initial AARP request doesn't seem to be received at all.

For what it's worth, the IP stack handles it by intercepting the ARP request 
before it goes out if it matches the network interface, which is what I tried 
to do by modifying the AARP handler.  That makes the address resolve, but it 
seems that the packet doesn't get received if I'm sending it to myself, either 
(not sure how that works in IP).
