Linux 2.1.28

[Peter Iannarelli <peter@pisys.com>]

Hello all:

I have recently upgraded my debian system from 2.1.2 to 2.1.28 
because of the SMP support and found the following problems.

1.	Masquerading doesn't work in 2.1.28

2.	The pppd reports a netmask error once LCP negotiation is
	complete even if a netmask is provided in either of the options 
	files.

3.	The /etc/init.d/network file is not compatible between 
	2.1.2 and 2.1.28. A netmask must be provided for network
	interface and route definitions or the system will hang on boot.

4.	ext_fs and xia_fs header and support files were missing  from
	/usr/src/linux/include/linux therefore applications requiring those 
	header files would not compile. ( I copied them from my 2.1.2 )


Regards
