That was it. I now have a very functional AppleTalk router. The patches 
that are needed are here:

http://hep.uchicago.edu/~nathanw/netatalk-sys.diff (to the kernel bits of 
netatalk)
http://hep.uchicago.edu/~nathanw/netatalk-port.diff (to the netatalk port, 
which I'll send over to the netatalk people)

Could someone commit the kernel one?
