Hi
You really need the zero-copy patches with the 2.4.2 for anything
to work, I never actually tested the non-zerocopy code path
(well, actually I did a while ago and it caused the sender to crash :) ).
What I'd use is the latest 2.4.x-ac patch from ftp.kernel.org
/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan (seems to be 2.4.3-ac9 now), the 2.4.2 STP
patch should go in just fine.
