You just want to re-invent the wheel here; just add the missing line and give all of us a break; >This is the kind of package in which you really need to know what you're doing >when making changes.

So??? Are you trying to tell me that you finally understood what's going on here ??? Did you finally see the problem? well it only takes one line of code to force yiaddr to 0 and finish with this long story.
