I successfully configured a dummy0 device, but when starting
netatalk, first it reported "dummy0: may have trouble with multicast"
and then atalkd failed to bind to it, claiming it couldn't register
the workstation name. So it seems there is some extra trick involved
here to get Appletalk running on dummy0. Thoughts?
I can however report that sheep happily opens the dummy0 device,
which is will not do for lo, so that is a step in the right direction.
