I then ran 4.14 (project kernel) on our target; however i can't build an encrypted IPv6 tunnel to verify if the patchset helps. (From the patch descriptions, it really looks like they fix this) IPv6 tunnel testing will be done by other folks in the project, i can't tell when due to the CoVid situation as this requires special equipment that i can't access at all. > And can you please send them as a patch series, not as attachments, and > cc: all the original authors so that everyone can know what is going on > and weigh in if they see any issues?

Please give a short notice if you think i should resend the patch series. One question: Our IT department adds a signature since a few days, after a line with "----". Is this a problem? I can't turn that off, unfortunately. (At least they keep the "text only" and don't switch to HTML) Thanks for your guidance and patience Carsten ----------------- Mentor Graphics (Deutschland) GmbH, Arnulfstraße 201, 80634 München / Germany Registergericht München HRB 106955, Geschäftsführer: Thomas Heurung, Alexander Walter
