Hello,
Is it possible to get the following patches included in the longterm kernel
2.6.35.13?
Possibly, but you need to email the correct person and email address,
none of which you did :)
Try stable@xxxxxxxxxx, and the .35-longterm maintainer (hint, it's not
me.)
Ok - hmmm maintainers in 2.6.35.13 still lists you - but I'll look at a later
kernel maintainers file.
They let linux behave according to:
"Basic Requirements for IPv6 Customer Edge Routers
draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-cpe-router-09"
That looks like a new feature, not a regression or bugfix, right?
Did you read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt?
Not til just now. Yes it is a new feature, but with IPV6 it is seems that it
would be of use.
I know that my company needs it as we are moving off of FreeBSD to Linux for our
fw/vpn/router appliance. The alternative is to just keep applying the patch myself.

You forgot to mention what the git commit id this is upstream in Linus's
branch, and to copy the people involved in the original patch (author,
subsystem maintainer, etc.) to see if they agree it should go in.
How in the world do you get the commit info?

Thanks for the response - I'll see if I can get all the info and do a proper
submission.
Regards,
Steve
