Unfortunately now we have this bug. A similar thing seems to have happened with 2.4.27 and some neftilter symbols. It partly my fault (in the sense that I uploaded the packages) and partly a process issue. I do appologise for any inconvenience and I'll try and get updates together over the next few days. But we have clearly missed the boat for 3.1r0.
Hi Horms: Thanks for acknowledging the via-rhine problem that has gotten into 3.1r0. For Debian sarge users it sounds like you have plans to fix version 2.6.8-16 which is excellent. But until that happens, and for on-going Debian testing users like me what kernel 2.6 solution do you recommend for all those who require via-rhine for their networking? For example, do you (or anybody else paying attention to this bug thread) know whether the via-rhine problems also occur for kernel-image-2.6.11 (currently in unstable)?
