Thanks a lot Andreas. I'm just back from vacation and this gift is kind of
you ...

Hmmm, already seen it, and not related with 6pack.
That behaviour has been already discussed in this list. The bug is in the
kernel, and it occurs also with kissattach. I have upgraded my system -and
the I0AKM BBS- with the patch attached.
I've tested that patch for 2 months, and a lot of 'ifconfig down & up'.
Unfortunately I don't now if other OM have tried it.
