As I am lead to believe, there needs to be no changes in netatalk itself
to do this... This is a kernel-space thing. Basically, the kernel only
knows how to deal with EtherTalk, not TokenTalk.
I'm currntly working on TokenRing TokenTalk support for linux... I will
likely be at the testing stage fairly soon. Would you be willing to be
another test site?
Does anybody else run in such an environment (linux, tokenring) who would
be willing to be a test site for kernel patches?
