Linux 2.1.72 problems

Hi there,

I am experiencing two distinct problems with the 2.1.72 kernel.

Problem 1: ISDN-net is broken. Apparently some clean-up has taken place in the struct netdevice and it seems some of the IPv4 specific fields have been moved to
the inetdevice struct. The ISDN source file isdn_net.c has not been adopted to this -> compiletime errors. I have not managed to make it work myself (results in
kernel dereferencing null pointers). Is there any work on this subject going on, or can anyone give me a clue to do it myself?

Problem 2: IP masquerading is broken. Any packet that needs masquerading is not relayed to the destination network, although ipfwadm -F -c says it ought to. Same
configuration with version 2.0.32 _does_ work! Again same question: is there any work on this going on, or can anyone give me a clue to do it myself?

And a question: where can I find "official" bttv support/maintenance site/etc.

Thanks in advance,
