This is my personal testing experience with some D-Link devices, but you won't find any of this documented on the box or on their website.
The D-Link DI-524 has 4 HW revisions that I've seen (A, C, D, and E, no idea what happened to rev B ).
Rev C and Rev D will pass AppleTalk, but Rev A and Rev E will not.
So you have to go to a store and look at the box to determine the HW version. I would especially avoid Rev E which is the most recent, it takes about 60 seconds to boot, and they've screwed up the web interface to make it incompatible with most Mac browsers when trying to setup WEP. The only Mac browser that I could get to work with all of it's setup pages was IE on OS-9. Maybe they've come out with new firmware to fix it, but I returned the Rev E that I bought (but I have 2 Rev C and 2 Rev D). I bought Rev D at Fry's as recent as 6 months ago.
If you get a Rev C or D, update to the latest firmware, it fixed a lot of stability issues that I saw earlier.
The D-Link DI-624 Rev C will also pass AppleTalk (not sure what the current HW revs are for that model).
The D-Link DWL-2100AP Rev A also passes AppleTalk.
