That error value does not seem to exist in the netatm code,
so it must be the kernel stack returning that error. It looks
like HARP has registered your protocol.

It looks like you have everything set up right. And SIGPVC shouldn't
know or care where the TX goes, so that should not be a factor.
Sorry that I don't have any good ideas here. You mentioned setting
up ATM from the command line - did you "atm set netif" first? It may
not matter in your case, but I would try this order:
/sbin/atm set netif hfa0 atm 1
/sbin/atm attach hfa0 sigpvc
ifconfig atm0 10.0.0.2
/sbin/atm add pvc hfa0 0 32 aal5 snap ip atm0 10.0.0.1
All the best,
