Re: Linux 2.4.18-pre9

[Till Immanuel Patzschke <tip@internetwork-ag.de>]

Hi Marcelo,

is there any chance for including the latest PPP patch from Paul (2.4.2 -
20020205) and Michael's pppoe patch 0.6.10 -- only those "two" patches eliminate
the PPP deadlocks!  Might be worth putting these into 2.4.18 final ? :-)
Thanks,

Immanuel
