Great. Please keep us posted. If the patches work as expected, they
will be a worthy addition to the cplus kernel.

<pre wrap="">I got a kernel built with the patches using the wiki and your notes in

Router solicitations were issued and router advertisements were accepted and
I could still forward packets.

Glad to hear things worked. Now that a new c6 kernel update is out, I
will try and see if I could include the patches to this version (
2.6.32-71.24.1 ).

Never used it. Is it "safe" to do that?

As a general rule probably not. I did examine the result of the
patched files and verified they<br>
looked OK. I guess I could cp'ed the files that were affected, then
applied the patch by hand then ran gendiff against the<br>
new and the old to get a new patch, but in the end it is the same
thing, other than having to turn on with_fuzzy_patches. <br>

I ended up doing
rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec --with firmware --without debug
--without debuginfo
The first time I didn't have --with firmware and the kernel wouldn't
install.

Yes, C6 kernels require kernel-firmware. I build it with --target noarch.
