Network doesn't seem to work for me in 2.6.29, although it was working
in 2.6.28. System behavior seemed really strange, as it sometimes did
work when I was using the same uml machine, when using a different
user. Bisecting the kernel tree, revels a seemingly unrelated commit
that when reverted it fixes the problem:

I guess there are some timing issues?
