Dear list, dear Punky,

thanks for the quick relply. Well, I understand that the headers are
provided with the release -- but what about the release candidates? the
last voyage release seems to be  0.8. If you select voayage to install
it on a new flash card system, you are looking for long duration fo
future operation even in this "frozen" state. So I decided to prepare
the system with 0.9rc2.
But with 0.9rc2 I selected the kernel version 3.6.9 as of end of 2012 --
is this too new?

out-of-kernel modules are sometimes a must when you have the Realtek
network chipset rtl 8168 since the kernel module r8169 has some problems
with this chipset. The module r8169 is loaded but the network does not
funtion with it. Some people recommend to use the manufacturers provided
driver for it -- and this seems to do the job. What is your idea how to
solve this situation?

Thanks for reading and thinking about
