Description of problem: Missing AppleTalk ioctl for the 32bit/64bit mapping The patch (at end) will fix the missing AppleTalk kernel ioctls for the 32 API into 64Bit API translation. We need the AppleTalk networking for our EtherShare product. It would be good if the "appletalk" module gets included by default instead of building the kernel manually with the appletalk option enabled. It would be great if somebody can confirm that the patches are getting integrated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

This is a feature request. Appletalk is currently unsupported.
We need the AppleTalk for six turnkey products running on RedHat ES/AS 3, we have about 1300 Linux based server installations. Please fix this bug and and include AppleTalk protocol as a module by default in the next version. The same patch is already in the kernel 2.6.9+patches (done by me posted via Andy Kleen).
Internal RFE bug #142890 submitted; will be considered for future releases.
