Description of problem: We need the AppleTalk kernel module for five HELIOS products on Linux. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): WS/ES 3(update1) How reproducible: Install from CDs Steps to Reproduce: 1. insmod appletalk 2. 3. Actual results: cannot find AppleTalk kernel module Expected results: Should be included and loaded Additional info: We require appletalk for our products, if there are any maintanance problems we can do the support for it. The disadvantage is that our product will not run after a default RedHat install. Many of our customer and dealer are not capable to compile a custom kernel.

Still is missing in 2.4.21-15 , is it never coming back?
Augh. I am sorry for being an idiot. This module is in kernel-unsupported. Errrrr
The AppleTalk kernel module will not be included in the supported kernel package, but is available in kernel-unsupported for RHEL 3.
Hello Donald, why is it not included?, we need it for five commercial applications being installed at many sites. I personaly fixed some issues in the AMD-64 kernel 2.6 appletalk protocol and I am happy to provide support for this kernel module on RedHat. Installing an unsupported package has a bad taste for customers. The appletalk protocol module will not hurt because it will only be loaded if required. BTW: it is included in all SUSE releases by default.
