Okay Thomas, got it! I'll do the required tests under *debian* and fill a bug against Debian Linux Kernel. But, the Kernel code related to this part of it (network and etc), is very different in Linux 3.18, I'm guessing that it will *easier* to just provide Jessie with Linux 3.18, instead of a patch, but, I'm seeing that it might be too late for that... :-( Yes, I tested it with Ubuntu but, I also tested it using Linux from kernel.org, compiled by myself... Only Linux 3.18 solve that issue. Cheers! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
