I have the new driver running on my 2.6.5-rc2 SMP machines.  I initially
had problems using applications though.  Even though the tipc drivers
could see each other I couldn't communicate between applications.  I did
some looking around and found the the format of sockaddr_tipc changed. 
There is a scope element.  This breaks any already compiled code running
on the previous versions of tipc.

Also, has anyone updated the ethereal tipc module to work with the new
protocol version?
