Howdy,

I just installed netatalk on a Linux PC (running Debian potato).
It works however I noticed it's flooding the network with
broadcasts:

...
14:49:04.474038 aarp probe 255.53.203 tell 255.53.203
14:49:04.574020 aarp probe 255.53.204 tell 255.53.204
14:49:04.674018 aarp probe 255.53.205 tell 255.53.205
14:49:04.774008 aarp probe 255.53.206 tell 255.53.206
...
(this goes on and on and on)

It sends *a lot* more broadcast than any Mac on the network.
How I can I prevent it from doing this?
