Anyone seen PLIP working on FreeBSD-6.2 release ?
I've tested my PLIP cable between 2 x 4.11 boxes. I'm trying to
install a laptop with 6.2 boot flops (with failed pcmcia/ether
recognition) I cant get that laptop & a 6.2 tower to talk to each
other. Neither will those 2 x 6.2 talk to 4.11. I havent quite
done all exhaustive tests, (but am exhausted & seems worth asking :-)

It seems to me PLIP has been broken somwhere after branching RELENG_5.
Between two RELENG_4 it worked fine (used from about 4.3 to latest 4.11).
If any end was using RELENG_5 or RELENG_6 it didn't work any more.
I thought first, maybe there were some incompatible changes in protocol
or something, i tried to use the same FreeBSD versions on two ends
(both RELENG_5 or both RELENG_6), but that was not the case.
My tests were not exhaustive either, but i actually tried to fire it up again
numerous times, enough for my own assurance.
If anybody could shed some light, i would be curious.
I could also make tests if needed.
