Right, a new snapshot is coming. If necessary, I can just position the
snapshot build source at right before the big signal explosion^Wproject.
Todd was planning on packaging a snapshot in a week or so, and I would like
to finish some install tool hacking, but all of these delays are optional
and pretty soon we will just crank it out.
I did build a GENERIC kernel from early September sources with the Tulip
(if_de.c) fixes in. For those who are (or could be) running GENERIC, and
haven't recompiled from updated if_de.c sources, this may run with a
substantial network performance improvement.
