I've been toying with some 2.6.10 headers from LMO cvs on the gentoo side of things, where we have an "appCompat" patch that plugs up a alot of the leaky holes in 2.6.x headers, but I still have to analyze the patch and add in some mips-specific bits before these headers can be considered remotely sane for even testing. Those running other distros will probably need similar modifications to their headers to make them userland-friendly. --Kumba -- "Such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere." --Elrond
