yes, but ist 2.0 pre 3 already *sigh*.

> 1. double lock on device queue
yes. here's a "fresh" exerpt from the syslog:
May 13 23:22:24 rincewind kernel: double lock on device queue!
May 13 23:56:32 rincewind kernel: double lock on device queue!
May 14 02:39:45 rincewind kernel: double lock on device queue!
May 14 06:21:37 rincewind kernel: double lock on device queue!
seem these messages coincide with the mail-flood from vger coming in.

> 2. repeated socket destroy messages every 10 seconds
they would go, as soon as i terminate xntpd. (seen them on every shutdown
for a long time).
[7|8:22] akohlmey@rincewind:~/compile> netstat -u
Active Internet connections

udp 0 0 localhost:ntp *:*
udp 0 1260 rincewind.chemie.u:ntp *:*
^^^^
and here's the number that will come with it. btw: i can ping hosts, that
are actually down, get a few socket destroy delayed msgs, and then it like
before. this is how it _should_ be, right?

since the smc-driver update my networking is faster than ever.
