Hi,

I have updated UMIP Debian package available on natisbad.org repository
[1]. Among the changes: 

 o various additional patches

 o latest version of NEPL patch maintained by Romain.

 o a patch to support ARM devices (correcting packing problem)

 o a patch (check_netlink_origin.patch) to limit processing of Netlink
   messages to kernel ones, in order to prevent what is described in
   [2]. In UMIP specific case, this prevents basic users to have us
   process buggy netlink messages. Comments are welcome.

The good news is that I also found some time to install a full debian
and a recent kernel on my N810 (See [3]). This allowed me to generate
and test an UMIP package for armel.

In the end, the repository now contains ipsec-tools-umip (latest CVS
version) and umip packages for *i386, powerpc and armel* architectures.

I thought some among you might be interested,

Cheers,

a+
