Obviously, otherwise I'd not send such a patch :-) cli/sti abuse etc. 6pack was pretty much 2.0 or even pre-2.0 code before I started. Somehow I managed to strip the BROKEN_ON_SMP patch bit from the last set of 6pack patches I sent, it was supposed to be in there. I got a similar near-rewrite for mkiss in the queue but that certainly isn't something for -stable, way too large. 73 de DL5RB op Ralf -- Loc.
