Anyone using Linux?

	I'm trying to get some patches together that I will attempt to get
davem or linus to sync into 2.1.37 if I can get them in in time.

	You should watch the netdev list, I can give anyone here interested
in the address the information about it if they respond to me directly.

	I had various stability issues when running the latest kernels w/
ipv6 (or even without), so be sure it's a test box you're willing to sacrifice
