Hey Dave,
Debian stock kernels come with the appletalk module.
For kernel 2.2.x kernels, run modconf
and goto "misc"
You should find the appletalk module in there somewhere.
For kernel 2.4.x kernels, run modconf
and goto
/kernel/net/appletalk
If you haven't already, make sure you have added your nic to the atalk.conf
for netatalk.
Restart netatalk and run ifconfig
You should see the appletalk network address in your settings.
hth,
Cheers,
Mike
