I too got the diald message but no the sl0 message. I've been poking around on the kernel mailing lists and it appears that Alexey, the guy who's been writing much of the new networking code (all?) wants people to use SOCK_RAW instead of SOCK_PACKET (ergo the "obsolete" messages). The only drawn out argument between AC, Alexey, and other was back in Jan/98 and there I found Alexey granted that the SOCK_RAW had some things about it that wouldn't work for diald. I've emailed Eric, the diald author, to get the skinny on what's gonna happen with this.
At any rate this warning is just a warning that the interface will be going away. It works just fine. The sl0: transmit timed out is a little scary though. Don't know what to say about that one.
