Hi!

Would it be much work to upgrade to kernel 2.6.20?

The background is, that since 2.6.20 it ist possible to use layer-3-independent connection-tracking in conjunktion with NAT.
That means it is possible to have "established/related"-ipv6-netfilter-rules and to use NAT fpr the ipv4-link.

Sadly up to 2.6.19 it is either nat or L3-independant conntrack.

So, wouldn't it be a nice feature for a router-platform? :-)

regards
Patrick

We skip .20 and will go straight to .21 when released.

that's great news!

So I'm looking forward to the release of .21!
You don't feel like trying the rc's, don't you? ;-)

cheers

I just don't want to work on getting an rc integrated and then do all the work again on the final release.

Are these weird problems with segmentation fault resolved now (or will be for 2.6.21)?

Last time I checked about a week ago, Kamikaze was really unusable, at least on WL-500g Deluxe and Premium.

Kamikaze r6257 with BusyBox 1.4.0 getting Segmentation fault with ps:

Should be fixed now. Please test again

Don't call Kamikaze unstable just because you have problems on one target with totally new code..

There is no wireless yet, or is there something broken with my kernel? It's ASUS WL-500g Deluxe, svn revision 6726:

Just an FYI...
v2.6.21 is out.

How's the status of porting to 2.6.21?

Maybe I can help porting patches?
Since 2.6.22-rc2 is out now, we might have to consider skipping .21,too and porting directly to .22?

it is not an easy task, especially when stability comes to mind ... patience is a virtue :-)

That's why I offered my help! :-)
