I _think_ this is because some kernels can't delete appletalk interfaces:
2.0.34 fixes this [I thought 2.0.33 did too, but I'm not so sure now].
If this is indeed the problem, your options are as follows:
1] Upgrade to 2.0.34
2] Patch 2.0.33
3] Compile the appletalk stuff as modules: After this:
foo:~/ /etc/init.d/netatalk stop
foo:~/ rmmod appletalk
foo:~/ insmod appletalk #only if you're not running kerneld
foo:~/ /etc/init.d/netatalk start
should solve the problem..
'course, I could be wrong. It's been known to happen. HTH.
