  I'm afraid it seems to not work.

I compiled it as instructed (i.e. put it into arch/arm32/arm32 and 
changed files.arm32, nad when I rebooted the kernel, only ping worked.

A netstat -p tcp reveals that it is rejecting all incoming packest due to 
bad checksums....

  I also compiled the new ntohl.S and htonl.S in the same kernel, but as 
ping works, I assume these aren't the problem.

Ale.
