I have seen exactly this same behavior using Netatalk with the
Intel EEPro netcard. According to the Netatalk docs, the EEPro doesn't
handle multicast properly. Does IPv6 use use multicast?
>From the Netatalk README.ASUN:
problems with appletalk:
certain ethernet card/drivers don't deal well with the fact
that appletalk aggressively uses hardware multicast. here are
a few ones that may cause problems:
ne2000 clones
3Com501 cards (maybe others)
intel etherexpress/pro
set multicast_filter_limit=3 in linux if you're having
problems with this card. to do that, add the following
line to /etc/conf.modules:
options eepro100 multicast_filter_limit=3
