Thanks, I'll have a look into it. Maybe you could send me canacar's
diff, so I can test it while I'm on it. I'd definitely prefer pfflowd

here you go; it's needed for kernels from after the network
hackathon.
Yay!
I've been hoping someone would post such a patch for some time, so
thanks for this, and canacar, if you're reading thanks for the patch.
That said, it seems[0] to be a pretty comprehensive patch, which fixes
pfflowd and could well be a candidate for becoming pfflowd-0.8. I am
aware that the original author, Damien Miller, is a dev, and is
subscribed to the list. I do not doubt that there is a good reason he
has not so far brought pfflowd up to date in the original tarball, and
created pfflowd-0.8; I suspect this is mostly down to time, and I
realise he probably has many better things to do. However, there may be
other reasons, such as a lack of testing. As such:
Damien, is there any way, such as testing this or any other patches,
that I might help you in bringing your version of pfflowd up to date? If
testing, what tests other than compiling and running a patched version?
I am a sysadmin rather than a coder, but I will happily do anything I
can to assist you.
