I downgraded to iproute 2.6.19 and everything works correctly now. I'm using kernel 2.6.19.7, as indicated in the January 18th edition of the book. I would therefore say there is some kind of kernel version dependency in iproute2.

Is there significance to this? They have always followed the kernel version numbers, but as far as I know there's no dependency on specific kernel versions for the iproute2 package. robert -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
