IMHO New fatures to a driver that works well and can block the use, especially if it can disable internet access and the problem is know, MUST be disabled by default or provide a mechanism to disable it. I'm a rare user with routed IP and this patch blocks the normal use of internet I dont understand how this patch can be accepted for a stable release without any kind of disable mechanism. Yeah, i know that atmarp is buggy, but before speedtouch driver and atm works well during months. Best Regards. Juampe.
