Use the latest Version, only. (I dont think it is a particular good idea to make the numbers look like kernel versions). You will only get trouble with 2.0 or 2.2 Kernels, otherwise all the tools will work with older kernels (not necesaryly all functions). This is true for net-tools, also.
Ah cool! I am trying to get the third party traffic smoothing queueing discipline (PSPacer - precise software pacer from GridMPI project) going and I've had some bad experiences with mismatched iproute2/kernel versions... using the latest iproute2 would be great - I am going to give it a try right away!... By the way, can I then interpret (from http://www.gridmpi.org/pspacer-2.1/usage.en.html): "In the FedoraCore 3 after "yum update", the kernel and the iproute2 will have mismatching versions. You have to choose either downgrading the kernel to version 2.6.9 or upgrading the iproute2 to version ss050330 manually" As "... or upgrading the iproute2 to LATEST version manually" ? Anyway - I'll try using the latest version... and see if pspacer falls into "(not necesaryly all functions)" category :-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
