Thanks you for the review and time, Vincent. Well, I talked with Christoph Haas about ethstatus. He think that this old piece of software is, in fact, so old. Some other [newer] tools have superseded ethstatus. So, despite the initial effort I did to adopt ethstatus, I think I will be dropping this ITA soon :-( thanks, regards. -- Arturo Borrero González -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
