actually, now that i look more closely at the code browser at lxr.linux.no, "ether=" has been listed as "obsolete" since *at least* 2.6.10. not to sound unsympathetic but anyone who tries to jump from 2.6.10 to 2.6.24 in one step deserves what they get. :-) ok, that was cruel, but you see my point, right? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
