Looks good for the most part, but the rwhod
problem is still with us. (The system is unable
to receive udp broadcasts since early in the
2.5.67-bk release series)

Best Regards,

Joe

And,
Can anyone tell me when 'make modules' and 'make modules_install' is going
to work again?

It's been working for a very long time... Have you the latest modutils from Rusty Rusell? The module format and loader changed at 2.5.48 (if I remember correctly). If you use an older modutils, you'll get a lot of errors when doing "make modules_install".

You can download modutils from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules

This is being caused by the call to ip_mc_sf_allow() during packet delivery, which is not needed for broadcasts.

(Broadcast & multicast packets share the same delivery path here).
