latest kernel patch version available is now against 2.6.8.1 does anyone know which patches from 2.6.7-r5 can be dropped? Should be an easy bump once that's determined. Uses new version mki-adapter26_1_3_7.patch
I applied the Netraverse patches manually to the development-sources-2.6.8.1.ebuild. It built fine and ran fine for some days, but now for some reason the WinSock has stopped working. Guess that must be something else? Or might some of those patches you mention used in 2.6.7-r5 (which I'd previously run with no problem) be a fix for whatever this problem is?
look there for a 2.6.9 patch: http://dawoum.wowdns.com:8080/jsboard/read.php?table=Gentoo&no=71&page=1
Patches for 2.6.9: ftp://ftp.netraverse.com/pub/testing/kernel/patches/
