Some of the patches are so involved that besides looking at them I'll 
mostly have to rely on the TCK tests to see whether they still pass. The 
TCK tests unfortunately also need updating due to recent changes in the 
code (elimination of the source MAC tests in recent patches) as well as 
different output by the ip6tables command related to IPv6 addresses.

     Stefan
