> Subject: linux- 2.6.17.7 undefined reference to `alloc_ltalkdev'
Bug is that appletalk is built modular, which is where
alloc_ltalkdev is exported from, but we allow users of
this symbol, such as the cops driver, to be built non-modular.
Luckily the fix is simple, we need to change CONFIG_DEV_APPLETALK
to be a 'tristate' instead of a 'bool'. The following patch
is what I'll use to fix this bug.
Thanks for the report.

[ATALK]: Make CONFIG_DEV_APPLETALK a tristate.
Otherwise we allow building appletalk drivers in-kernel when
CONFIG_ATALK is modular. That doesn't work because these drivers use
symbols such as "alloc_talkdev" which is exported from code built
by CONFIG_ATALK.
Noticed by Toralf Förster.
