The code after in that case is racy and buggy, but such a combo is rare, probably just us, so we didn't submit it. > * busybox-1.27.1-wget-make-default-timeout-configurable.patch does > exactly what it says it does - it makes the default wget timeout a > configurable value.

This silences very loud kernel complaints when using compressed modules IIRC.

Without it modules behind a symlinked dir aren't found; but again, very likely just affects TC, so didn't send it. - Lauri _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
