This release is for 2.6.24 and 2.6.23 (tested) but might work for
2.6.22 (untested). It has no new features; this release fixes masq
support for 2.6.23. If you need a patch for 2.6.22 I recommend the
070717 release below.
I agree to reuse/extend this bugreport for lack of newer updates too.
The reason I set severity to serious, again from the upstream homepage:
The patch does not work for 2.6.25 or above due to a missing conversion
from rtnetlink til netlink (thanks to Rune Kock for bug report and
debugging). I'll look into this when I can find the time.
Conclusion: neither the packaged nor the upstream patch will work on Lenny.
Well - that does not make the bug serious. Adjusting severity based on
descriptions at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities
Observation: since the problem hasn't been fixed for 9.5 months
upstream, a fix in time for Lenny release is probably unlikely. I
suggest removal while we wait for this feature to reach us via the
upstream linux kernel developers which will help out with QA.
I disagree - it does no harm to provide this patch package for the
little minority willing to use older kernels.
