Well I am using the Livinstong Portmaster. Linux Kernel 1.2.13 works fine,
1.3.20 works, but 1.3.28 doesnt.
Maybe I should apply patches to 1.3.20 until it breaks to see which
kernel has problems.
I also experience a problem with 1.3.20 and dummy interfaces. After 24
dummy interfaces I started experiencing problems pinging,
those ethernet addresses above dummy20s.
I removed all the interfacing thinking that was the cause of the problems,
but it didnt help.
