Description James Lademann 2003-11-06 12:56:48 UTC 
Firestarter-0.9.2 refuses to start when running 2.6 linux kernel, its detection code only checks for 2.4 and 2.5.  I've written a miniscule patch to correct this.

firestarter-0.9.2 patch to work on linux 2.6 kernel

Should this go to the firestarter team?  It's pretty basic and probably already
corrected in CVS......

ok, patch taken from upstream has been added in 0.9.2-r1, please test and report problems.

your patch looks sufficient as well, but the other one was done by the author it seems. So no, it doesn't need to go upstream.

Thanks for the report & patch. Sorry it took this long, but 2.6 isn't stable yet so it had no high priority.

This works fine for me
