the version 1.3.3 (non beta) works a bit better
I'm using it under -current.
-current has the netatalk protocol stack already applied.
there is a problem wher you can't reach any net-rnages, only a single
network number. I'm working on that now, but it might
only be on -current.
the quick answer might be to 
go to -current  because -current has mods in route, netstat, ifconfig
to make them understand atalk as well. this allows you to manually put
in routes etc.

I'll be posting a set of binaries for -current
that are known to (well mostlY0 work in a few days, but
I'm not going to do it for 2.1.5 because I don't have such a beast
here.
