Re: Fw: F_SETSIG broken/changed in 2.6 for UDP and TCP sockets?

[Russell Leighton <russ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all that helped me troubleshoot.

Of the 2 issues I had with FedoraCore2, one problem is solved:

   * Multicast issues were solved by using another NIC. It seems that
     the driver for the NatSemi DP8381[56] does not receive mutlicast
     properly.
   * F_SETSIG still seems broken for TCP for me when my process sets up
     more than a few fd's...I will try the latest kernel to see if this
     goes away
