While there are patches for 2.2 kernels on the SF site nobody has tested them for ages and I've no idea whether they work with newer 2.2 kernels. Incidentally dnet-common isn't enough to get a running system, "apt-get dnet-progs" will get you something that is actually useful - provided you have the kernel support that is... -- patrick |
