Could you test to confirm this? If you can find a convenient moment to
perform the procedure in my bug report to check (see URL below), that'd be a
great help!

Basically, just stop Netatalk, remove the AppleTalk module from the kernel,
re-insert it and re-start Netatalk. The warning only occurs upon loading of
the kernel module, y'see.
Just tried it; it comes back up without the error. (Though if loading
the module is all that is necessary to trigger this, then rebooting
after the kernel upgrade should have been a sufficient test.)
BTW, have you experienced any troubles at all with the 2.2.17 kernel? I want
to upgrade my servers if it cures the small Netatalk problem, but I'm
slightly suspicious as to it's quality - aren't odd-numbered kernel releases
supposed to be testing releases? Or is it just the secondary version number?
Just the second number; the third number is to distinguish different
2.2.x (or whatever) releases, and just defines the sequence.
