I'm setting up two OpenWRT devices to provide "wifi" to some 30 year old Macintosh computers.
I thought it would be cool, however, to utilize the OpenWRT devices to provide other services. I used the SDK to build an older version of Netatalk (2.2.4) that would allow me to use the OpenWRT devices as an AFP file server and print server (using CUPS, which I've built and set up on the OpenWRT device). Netatalk can integrate with Appletalk to communicate with particularly old software.
Unfortunately, it seems like Appletalk, which used to be available as a kernel module, is no more on OpenWRT.
Is Appletalk something that can be added simply? There is plenty of documentation for making your own packages that I have used, but none for making a kernel module.
