Hello list,
due to a serious bug introduced about 3 days before Linus' closing of 2.6.29
the kernel 2.6.29 spread in Debian Sid is unusable for networking purposes.
For that reason it's strongly recommended to apply the following patch against
the kernel source tree and redebianize this kernel afterwards.
