This used to work a while back, but it no longer does I think
(but it is somewhat related to the MacOS version).
Anyway, I've modified the linux part of the ethernet
driver to interface ethertap directly without using
sheep_net (sheep_net is really superfluous when one
uses ethertap).
With this modification, I can access both the local
machine and the world (by masquerading). Also,
I have succeeded in configuring netatalk to route
AppleTalk between tap0 and eth0. I can see and
connect to servers in both the local MOL-zone and
in the "ethernet zone". I haven't yet tried to connect
to non-local hosts (there aren't any), but it really
ought to work.
The drawback is of course that in order to use AppleTalk,
you have to setup a local zone for MOL/tap0 (or is there
bridging solutions)?
Anyway, networking should be much more stable when
MOL interfaces ethertap directly.
I'll probably push these changes to the bitkeeper tree
tomorrow for some testing.
Cheers,
/Samuel
