I'm afraid you'll have to wait (should be in the
repository tomorrow or Thursday).
Btw, I've been investigating interrupt- and I/O latencies
in MOL and redesigned the receiver layer of the ethnernet
driver. Now I typically get 1.3 ms when pinging MOL-MacOS
on tap0. I have also measured transfer speeds of 2-3 MB/s
for FTP transfers of large files between the local host
and MOL.
Currently I'm examining why sheep_net can't see the local
host. I'm considering using sheep_net/enet for AppleTalk
and tap0 (without sheep_net) for IP. This way, one
could completely avoid netatalk.
Cheers,
/Samuel
