I wonder if anybody could take it and rip the kernel parts of Netatalk
out of 2.2 and produce something that can go into a 2.1 kernel.

I cannot imagine that something absolutely neccessary for Netatalk might
be missing in 2.1 as the package runs under Ultrix too which is fairly
dated these days...
