vmware 2.0.3, kernel 2.4.0 and a cdrom
Since I installed Kernel 2.4.0 VMware is no longer able to recognize my cdrom drive. VMware shows a dialog box on power up with following content: [...] CDROM: '/dev/scd0' exists, but does not appear tobe a CDROM device. Error connecting the CDROM device [...] At the same time my syslog records the following message: Jan 13 21:49:57 nexus kernel: sr0: CDROM (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST. I tried 2.2.18 and VMware recognized the cdrom drive. Any hints? Cheers Martin -- BOFH excuse #122: because Bill Gates is a Jehovah's witness and so nothing can work on St. Swithin's day.

strange nic behavior
I have a nic here which acts somehow strange. When I load the ne.o module while connected to the hub then link goes down. When pull the connector from the hub and load the module and then plug it back in, it works fine. I somehow suspect that the nic selects the wrong media. How can I force it to use the rj45 connector and not the bnc connector?

What's even more interesting: If I under stand the ip_masq modules correctly they're just transparent application proxies. Do they really have to run in kernel-space? No, but speed is a good argument here. From user space it can be done by some socket filter, but that gives much more overhead than in kernel space.
