Not sure where the problem is coming from. If it is a kernel build
problem, or a missing support file(s) problem. I've been working on
g4l (Ghost for linux) and have been able to build additional nic and
other support by using the later kernel.org kernels. That has all
worked well. But I'm know trying to get the system to support the
use of names rather than just ip addresses. The system can
currently ping by ip number, but ping by name comes back with
unknown server error. traceroute doesn't work with number or
name. traceroute with ip number gives unknown protocol icmp, but
ping works, and the messages I found on this problem point to
missing /etc/protocols file, but I added that with no change.
traceroute with name give Unknown server error.
nslookup also gives unknown server error.

The g4l uses ncftp with no problem to upload images via the net
using ip, but no name support. If I could add the support without
major work, I would like to. I had about 9000 downloads of the new
version files in November, so am hoping people find the program
useful. To me using ip numbers is no problem, but some have asked
for it.

If anyone has an answer, or a place that I could look to find it.
Currently, the system just uses the bzImage file, and mostly
busybox for the system, and a few statically compiled programs.

Thanks.
