Hi all,
I was poking around your web site today looking for this (interfamily)
patch; can you send a pointer? I downloaded the nightly tarball but
found one patch that was labeled BROKEN in the 2.6.19.0 directory.
Another question I have is how you plan to support UDP draft with the
BEET patch or whether it is separately handled by another kernel patch.
Is it possible to get a single BEET patch with UDP support and
interfamily address support?
Thanks,
Tom
