I don't think so but your patch looks correct - I mean it looks like it should work. It's been 5 years since I wrote that original patch and my memory isn't so great as to why I didn't just do as your patch does but I think it had something to do with not all drivers reporting a spoof check value. However, your patch should handle that case so I see no reason not to accept it. Unfortunately I don't have time or the resources at the moment to check it on an older kernel. - Greg > > Cheers, Phil
