It might be a bug, Linux is still developing the Appletalk stuff. I don't
use it myself, I just know it's there. I've forgotten which kernel
version you are using. If it's not listed in the kernel MAKE CONFIG
then try kernel version 2.2.10. That's the latest stable version.

And don't forget, it may be a module you have to load from the
command line.
