Mark Dawson ported netatalk from the University of Michigan to
2.0.5 and I sent him some minor modification to get it to work on a
2.1 system. As part of the build process, netatalk will patch your
kernel sources, and you must build a new kernel. That is, netatalk
is kernel level code that supports AppleTalk.
The last time I checked, Mark's patches were not incorporated into
netatalk. If you want unpatched code to hack on, then try
ftp://terminator.rs.itd.umich.edu/unix/netatalk/netatalk-1.3.3.tar.Z
If you a patched version of the previous beta release, then try
ftp://troutmask.apl.washington.edu/pub/netatalk-1.3.3b2.freebsd.tar.gz
