I'll check that. I can also check the rest of the diff, but do you remember
if you fixed any other bugs besides the date thing? Also, by commenting the
line for the date fix, does it break any other netatalk functionality (when
used with Mac OS X clients or whatever) to your knowledge?

Sure, it's "just a matter of" to *you*, but I'll give it a whirl. It's an
ARM-based device but people have definitely cross-compiled new kernels for
it.

I'll try. It'll be my first deb. I'm not really a Linux guy, as you've
probably figured out by now.
