I am using Potato with kernel 2.2.10 and I am not having those problems. Thought about upgrading your kernel? Or maybe trying one of the diald versions from stable? I seem to recall that the "stable" diald versions had problems with the 2.2.x kernels, so perhaps the diald versions from "stable" work best for 2.0.x kernels. If you are using Slink, then none of what I just said would apply. -- Andrew
