Hi,
when selecting CONFIG_ATALK as a module the symbols register_snap_client and
unregister_snap_client will be unresolved. As I understand it they are in
net/802/psnap.c which does not get compiled when Appletalk is selected as a
module. Compiling into the kernel works fine.
I found this posting from 1996 which seems to mention the same problem:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/net/9603.1/0087.html
Does anyone know if the mentioned problems were ever fixed? Maybe CONFIg_ATALK
should not allow the module option if it's not supposed to work anyway.

thanks for this report and sorry for the late answer.
I wasn't able to reproduce your problem.
Please send your .config.

Attached. Upgraded the server to 2.4.26 in the meantime and threw out
appletalk again since we didn't need it in the end.
A quick test with compiling it as a module produced the same unresolved
symbols. Unless I missed another config option to set?
I don't need to set CONFIG_DEV_APPLETALK as well, right? Regardless, just
tried, same effect.
Btw, I think I didn't mention earlier, the kernel is patched with i2c-2.8.3.
Patch generated with mkpatch from the package and applied.
Thanks!
Oliver
