I certainly have: qeth, which is the HiperSockets/OSA driver.  So
obviously Debian isn't going to support it.  And since it's Debian, and
not SuSE, Turbo, or Red Hat, I suspect IBM doesn't care.  I have not yet
even heard acknowledgment of my concern that in 2.4.17, qeth seems to
require NETDEV_FASTROUTE, which makes the whole prospect of doing
multi-tiered gated HiperSockets networks untenable.  Since I have
those (under 2.4.7) running at customer sites, this is a Scary Thing.

No, more what I was looking for was, "How do I read this" ?  I figure I
can at least, perhaps, determine whether it's an interaction between
netfilter, which is still built into the kernel (although I'm not using
it) and qeth, or something else.

I'm going to try to get some space on a faster box so that I can test
various configuration options a little more speedily.
