On ftp.linux.org.uk: you will now find
	/pub/tmp/met1.2.8-net.1.3.0.diff.gz for the new network set
	/pub/tmp/ipsizefix-1.2.8 a small post 1.2.8 fix

The new net code includes:

	Appletalk support for Umich netatalk 1.3.3a
	AX.25 include IP over UI and VC connections
	NetROM including IP over NetROM
	The token ring patches
	Fast pentium aware checksums
	Fast UDP/RAW output with checksum and copy
	Experimental socket and routing caches
	IPIP tunnel
	Protocol header caching
	A 100K/second+ 3c501 driver fix
	Perfect hash on incoming packet filtering
	TCP & Cisco hang fix
	/proc shows both timers	
	Per route irtt for amateur radio and dial on demand users
	RTF_REJECT for the gated fans.

and I'm fairly sure there is at least 1 new bug per feature in there.


I shall be off the net for a while, but bug reports are eagerly sought, just
don't expect fast replies. The  net/Changes file also has a list of projects
for people wanting ideas on something to contribute.

Look forward to seeing people in Berlin
Alan
