netlink ?

[Andrew Hollbach]

The missing netlink has been found. The problem was that the
box was booting via BOOTP and used nfs root. Net initialization
seems to have been deferred and a whole bunch of network related
stuff built into the kernel just did not come up right.

Now that I'm booting off the local /dev/sda with the same kernel,
things seem much improved. /proc/net has about twice the entries now
and netlink works.

Thanks for the excellent kernel port, folks !

cheers, Andy
