Hi all,

the net-tools version (1.54-4) coming with Red Hat 6.2 distribution has a
bug that makes it impossible to set a permanent ARP entry for NET/ROM
making IP over NET/ROM impossible to do. Other protocols and parts of the
net-tools might be affected too. I did a quick patch and rolled my own src
and binary RPMs that can be downloaded at:

  ftp://ftp.hes.iki.fi/pub/ham/unix/linux/ax25/packages/libc6/rpm/

The RPMs have not been tested very thoroughly so if something breaks you
get to keep both pieces... However my fix is rather obvious so I feel safe
distributing it. :)

BTW the bug is not Red Hat specific so other distributions might be
affected too.
