IIRC, you cannot restart atalkd. Must reboot computer. Can't remember
where I read that though; however, I have found it to be the case :-)

Is your ethernet compiled as a module also by any chance? I have
found that compiling ethernet as a module requires manual insmod (you
can do it in rc.local). Loading of the ethernet driver gets deferred
during boot, then when Appletalk tries to load it gives me that exact
error. But after that, rc.local loads the ethernet module (or you do
it my hand after logging in), and atalk "just begins working." For me
:-)
