Besides driver issues, another reason to migrate to a 2.6 kernel is support for IPV6, which will become vastly more important in the years to come, particularly outside the US, where the IPV4 address pool is already beginning to be exhausted. | One of my concerns in the 2.6 branch will be IPSEC, as now we need to | use the native stack.

I have migrated a few sites from leaf-based firewalls to minimal debian installs, using the new IPSec tools (racoon and racoon-tool, in my case). I have a few more sites that still run leaf and will need to be upgraded soon. A 2.6 kernel based release with modern IPSec would allow me to avoid migrating to debian (and rotating HDDs). I don't yet have any real-world experience with IPV6, other than the dropped IPV6 packets seen by anyone running a firewall...the nasties have taken to using IPV6 tunneling to try and circumvent firewall rules, as many routers block IPV4 traffic but have separate (and frequently non-existent or less maintained) rule sets for IPV6. - -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH1VUXLywbqEHdNFwRAi/sAJ0d/ZHMKLXR+ryRRT9v4GhXUw5rDQCg/TsQ 0SuTICfWv3CevIn3uCF8qQQ= =jG9Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
