I think that netatalk support in-kernel is pretty much working.  I don't
believe that we currently distribute the userland binaries, but we might
as part of the package system.  As for DHCP, I think we have the latest
and greatest client software as part of the system.

I believe that the posted date-of-completion is December 1st, but don't be
surprised by a week or so of slip (I could be misremembering this, tho).

Unless I'm completely off (which is always possible with this kind of
thing ;-), try the IPFilter home page:

I hope this helps.

Later.
