I was surprised to hear from you again, Leann, because I assumed your main concern was Intrepid. I've done some work on Hardy over the weekend, but was losing heart because I didn't have the right experience to make rapid progress. I intended to contact Stefan Bader this morning to ask for his help, but let me make this a general request instead. I use CVS and SVN a lot in my development projects, but I don't really want to clutter my (paid) work with temporary kernel projects. What I need most is a diff between all the tcp/ip files that go into the kernel, using the latest Hardy kernel and the earliest alpha 4 Intrepid kernel. Using the changes list (or the repository history) for the intrepid kernel, I can start by reviewing Ilpo's fixes. Perhaps you can suggest a quicker approach? Once I can lay the C source out side-by-side, I expect to identify the relevant fixes. We then have to map "the time tree" of all fixes to figure out the pre- and co-requisites... we won't know if it is practical until we try. I am reassured by the comment Ilpo made when he latched onto this bug - he said he hadn't touched the code for a year or so. If you want to take the rest of this investigation off the bugs list, we can email directly or switch to a developers list. Let me know what you think is most efficient.
