    Hi all,

    Since 2.2.x digipeating is not support by the kernel.

    Since 2.2.x I can't use rsdownlnk and rsuplnk with success...

    I don't know C but i've tryed to understand code and I think this 2
    tools have dependencies with a variable "I_AM_DIGI" ... if I remerber
    well!

    It will be a good thing to have again digipeating in the kernel.
