Basically, it means giving a single ethernet card two (or more) different IP
addresses. If each of your ethernet cards only has one IP, then you aren't
aliasing. =)
It's possible you don't have the AppleTalk module loaded, or installed, on
your system. Can you connect to the machine via the IP option in the
chooser? If you can, it means netatalk is working, but you don't have
AppleTalk.

By adding that to your conf.modules file, you're telling the kernel to load
the AppleTalk module at boot time. Try running an "/sbin/insmod appletalk"
and see what it says. And if you do "/sbin/lsmod -a" it'll tell you what
modules are currently loaded.
