Greetings,
    I currently use:

10/100Mb Kingston Card
Linux-2.0.30pre10
Tulip .083 driver
Netatalk 1.4B + ASUN 17 (tcp) patches

no problems.. (10 and 100Mb mode)

I will try the 100Mb Full Duplex mode as soon as I
figure out how to switch our 3Com Switch ;-)

And to see if your in promiscuous mode, look at the output
from ifconfig:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:C0:F0:16:69:EC
          inet addr:192.168.21.21 Bcast:192.168.21.255
Mask:255.255.255.0
          EtherTalk Phase 2 addr:65280/44
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
          RX packets:2383664 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1624682 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
coll:1054
          Interrupt:9 Base address:0xe880

I beleive the MULTICAST means the card (or this interface) is in
promiscuous mode.

As for your zone problem....

  Netatalk re-writes the '/usr/local/atalk/etc/atalkd.conf' each
time it finishes 'negotiating' (sorry for the spelling, its late now...)
See / send that to the list also. This has ALOT to do with how the netatalk
is seeing your network.
I also get the timeout 'notification' on my network but thats because
I /we don't use zones here... maybe your apple routers are not correct.(?)

Lets, see ;-)

Hope that helps....

Bob.
