However, when I try to use it with a kernel recompiled without TCPIP support, latd is correctly started but it does'nt work. After investigations, I notice that interface are not detected with this kernel.

(modification of the interface detection function to do not used TCPIP functionnalities,  or which TCPIP module is necessary to compile in the kernel). It is strange that DECnet recognizes interfaces without TCPIP, but not LAT.
