It frequently breaks on major kernel patches. That's correct. The problem was that IPF was accessing private kernel struc= tures and interfaces which were not guaranteed to be stable; so for example= , applying a recommended patch cluster would cause the kernel to panic when= the IPF module was loaded. To avoid this, a recompile of IPF was required = every time a kernel patch was applied. Work was in progress to rectify this by building public API infrastructure = for IPF. What the status of this project is, only Darren can probably say. Personally, I would also be interested to know what the status of this proj= ect is. pfil hooks used to be required, but I don't believe that to be the = case in the newest "Nevada" builds.
