Via a kerneltrap.org article (problematic internet setup here currently, non-C&P text terminal only) I could see that this is the patch which removes the d_revalidate member and the corresponding proc_revalidate_dentry(). And this is the state that my 2.6.24-rc_six_-mm1 tree is in already. So either it didn't help here or it broke again by some later change or there's some dumb PEBKAC error here. > so no hotfixes are needed.

"CONFIG_NETNS" as mentioned in the patch description actually seems to be "CONFIG_NET_NS", BTW. (which I DON'T have set at the moment, if this happens to make a difference) Thanks, Andreas Mohr -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
