Hi all,

I am not sure exactly where to send this email. A have chosen the
ip4/ip6 networking as the issues are in this area of the kernel.
 
The kernel patch files patch-2.6.9 and patch-2.6.10 do not apear to be
correct.

No, you're doing it wrong.  2.6.8.1 was a bugfix release.  The correct
patching order is 2.6.8 -> 2.6.9 -> 2.6.10.
