Net might be better, but _the_ person is Bill Fenner, who is kind of busy lately. As for testing the patch, since you do use multicast (the patch does not affect normal IP traffic), you could simply use it and see if things stop working or the kernel panics... :-) I know the patch does what it intends to do (well, part of it), I just want to make sure it doesn't introduce any new bugs. -- Daniel C.
