Bug#435387: Redirect to Kernel?



I just noticed this bug report, and couldn't let be commenting...

I believe "buried in ddp.c" is a little unprecise.  ddp.c implements the
EtherTalk Link Access Protocol (ELAP).  See the header of
net/appletalk/ddp.c:

 *      DDP:    An implementation of the AppleTalk DDP protocol for
 *              Ethernet 'ELAP'.


If you want to run AppleTalk on Token Ring, then you need an
implementation of the TokenTalk Link Access Protocol (TLAP).  See e.g. 
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/internetworking/technology/handbook/AppleTalk.html#wp1020654

My guess is that you'd have to write that yourself.  I would be
surprised if there was a high demand...
