After the cops driver is removed, ipddp is now the only CONFIG_DEV_APPLETALK but as far as I can tell, this also has no users and can be removed, making appletalk support purely based on ethertalk, using ethernet hardware.

Appletalk configuration
config ATALK tristate "Appletalk protocol support" select LLC help AppleTalk is the protocol that Apple computers can use to communicate on a network. If your Linux box is connected to such a network and you wish to connect to it, say Y. You will need to use the netatalk package so that your Linux box can act as a print and file server for Macs as well as access AppleTalk printers. Check out http://www.zettabyte.net/netatalk/ on the WWW for details. EtherTalk is the name used for AppleTalk over Ethernet and the cheaper and slower LocalTalk is AppleTalk over a proprietary Apple network using serial links. EtherTalk and LocalTalk are fully supported by Linux.
General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>. The
NET3-4-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable
information as well.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called appletalk. You almost certainly want to compile it as a
module so you can restart your AppleTalk stack without rebooting
your machine. I hear that the GNU boycott of Apple is over, so
even politically correct people are allowed to say Y here.
