So I'm trying to get my SE/30 connected to the internet. I think I have a good handle on the routing and gateways required (SE/30 LocalTalk -> Localtalk-Ethernet Bridge (Asantetalk) -> MacIPGW), but I can't seem to figure out whats going wrong with my AsanteTalk. I've been through the troubleshooting guide and tried every permutation of power on combinations. Digging deeper, it looks like something is wrong with the EtherTalk Packet generation in the AsanteTalk.
When I power on the AsanteTalk, it generates a series of correctly formed AARP name resolution packets and sends them out over Ethernet, presumably to populate some internal table of names. After that, the AsanteTalk is powered up and should begin bridging LocalTalk and Ethernet by encapsulating traffic in DDP frames. This appears to be completely broken.
The packets coming out of the AsanteTalk in response to LocalTalk traffic aren't correctly formed Ethernet II or 802.3 frames. It looks like an Ethernet II frame with [Dest MAC Address, Src MAC Address, Packet Type (0x809B AppleTalk)], except there's 3 bytes afterwards that shouldn't be there. It looks almost like a Logical-Link Control 802.2 frame just hanging out even though that's illegal (thus incorrectly interpreted). All of the AppleTalk traffic I've seen from netatalk uses IEEE 802.3 (includes Logical-Link Control always) and not Ethernet II.
Long story short, my AsanteTalk is spitting out either invalid 802.3 frames or valid Ethernet II frames (which it shouldn't produce) followed by junk that makes it useless.
Any help would be appreciated.
