System is a 486DX2 66 MHz, 16 MB ram running redhat 7.0 with the
latest (Oct 20) patches. The kernel was compiled for it on a faster
machine, the only additional patch is the netfilter mss patch.

I think I may have found a bug in the kernel, and wish to verify this by
testing this with the "latest" kernel. In order that I make a valid bug
report, which kernel would be considered to be good for testing on? Is it the
latest *stable* version (now 2.2.17, I believe); or is it one of the 2.4.*
Greetings all:
I was doing some benchmark between kernels and i came out with
this results, for what I can see, 2.2.17 with the ide_patch is faster,
although it uses more CPU, but then again i could be wrong, any ideas?

I think the following patch makes MAC address filtering work better in
the FORWARD chain. The problem in the original code is that it uses
skb->len in determining whether or not the packet being filtered has
enough bytes to contain a MAC address, but that field is not necessarily

Unless there is a very special reason, that's a driver bug. Please

The problem I'm seeing is that at least one driver
has signed up to handle the wrong IRQ because,
when it queried that PCI config value, it went
back and got it from PCI config space rather
than from the in-kernel data structures where the
(correct) recalculated value had been stored.
I'm trying to debug the oops that my module is
generating. When I use ksymoops on the oops text I get a warning saying that the
module is in lsmod but is not found in ksyms. I have two questions:
1. How do I get my symbols into ksyms?
2. Are only exported symbols in ksyms? Translation:
