Hi Bruno,

Till some month ago I encounter a problem when I compile the kernel with 
gcc-3.2 or gcc-3.1. Those kernels boot well but as soon as you try a 
network connection (telnet or ssh) the system crash.

It is a problem in network kernel part but dono yet if it is IP stack or 
  interface problem.

As some month ago could you send me your last lkcd code so that I could 
try to locate the problem with at least gdb?

Thanks in advance for your help,
	Joel
