Re: Netatalk inconsistencies wired vs. wireless.

An update:

The issue has been resolved, though some more testing remains for
knowledge purposes and completion, everything works.

I'll be putting together an updated primer on netatalk and the Apple
II sometime soon. Although a good majority of what I had to deal with
was related to EtherTalk and there's only so few out there that would
ever run into the same kind of problem, suffice to say that if you
have a gigabit server, there are some differences that will have to be
dealt with, and the way it was done this time was a modification to
the A2 Ethernet Card ROM.

The old tricks of sliding a 10Base-T hub, 10/100 switch or such - into
the mix did not matter here. However a wireless bridge anywhere in the
linkup did fix the problem and that was the clue.

A ROM update will eventually be made available somehow, it's not that
simple as each card needs a unique ROM since the MAC address is stored
within. Though the odds of them being in the same subnet is probably
pretty rare .. still. It's the right way to do things. I'd need to
have the MAC address and make a ROM for it specifically.
