Cool stuff and overdue for a lng time! A few comments on the code: - IMHO it would be helpful to print the chosen values into the boot dmesg (maybe larger parts of it only with verbose). This aids explaining strange symtoms if someone adds/removes RAM and is not aware of autoscali

importing Kame's NATPT ?

2001-12-10 Thread Nick Sayer
