In Consideration of some recent emails on the current mailinglist I am
not sure whether I should add NET_WITH_GIANT to my kernel config or not.

In my LAN I take heavy usage of IPv6 and one of NICs (vr
driver) is not yet marked MP_SAFE.

Is it safe for now to switch over to debug.mpsafenet=3D1 or should I wait
until the locking of IPv6 is done?

BTW. I am very willing to help testing... ;)

best regards,

	Gordon
