Please do.

I applied the patch a few days ago to netbsd-5 sources (i386) and -current
sources (sparc). It didn't fix the problem on i386, and didn't break
anything on sparc (where things worked before with Netatalk 2.0).

From what I have seen, AppleTalk worked fine up to netbsd-4, and broke,
depending on the network interface, on netbsd-5. My test matrix is

                  sparc          i386
                le   hme        wm   re
netbsd-4        +     +         +    ?
netbsd-5        +     -         -    -
netbsd-HEAD     +     +         ?    ?

-- guess I should try a patched -current kernel on i386, and a patched
netbsd-5 kernel on sparc.
