Yes, it was a typo :)

[root@server /root]# cat /proc/pci | grep Ethernet
Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 48).
Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX [Fast Etherlink] (rev 116).
[root@server /root]#
The driver for both cards is:
"3c590/3c900 series (592/595/597) "Vortex/Boomerang" support"
in the 2.4.6 kernel. It's CONFIG_VORTEX in the Makefile. The netatalk
binds itself to the second NIC, as you can see from the previous email.

The atalkd.conf has nothing else but the comments, since i'm not very
familiar about AppleTalk and so on. I tried to read the man pages but they
don't explain too much. So I left the config untouched.
