no AppleTalk?

[Pete Gontier]

I've spent too many years crawling through old code to be blaming anyone for
anything. :-)

You seem to be suggesting is that 'route' and "netstat' are closely related,
'netstat' has been broken for a long time, and thus 'route' isn't a good
indicator of anything. Fair enough.

Further, you seem to suggest that AppleTalk is indeed in the Ubuntu kernel,
and there must be some other reason all the netatalk userland programs I've
tried say:

atp_open: Cannot assign requested address


(Even though I've made no explicit attempt to assign any address.) What else
can I try to diagnose this? (I've already tried making the interface
netatalk is supposed to use explicit.)
