I dare think it is *not* supposed to...

I tried the same configuration as you (CAP pl.197, Native EtherTalk,
Phase 2, BPF...) on a Mac SE/30 running NetBSD 1.1.

Result: deadly slow, next to unusable.

netatalk 1.4 is said to come RSN and will support FreeBSD.

Please drop me a note if you find out anything helpful.
