I am using Potato with kernel 2.2.10 and I am not having those problems.
Thought about upgrading your kernel? Or maybe trying one of the diald
versions from stable? I seem to recall that the "stable" diald versions had
problems with the 2.2.x kernels, so perhaps the diald versions from
"stable" work best for 2.0.x kernels. If you are using Slink, then none of
what I just said would apply.
