BTW, we still need the pcmcia-v3 patch for using new SanDisk High (>8G) CF cards in the onboard CF card slot of the Nemo board. I submitted this patch to the kernel IDE developers today.

Hi All,

I released the second alpha of kernel 5.6 for the X1000 and X5000 today.

New:

• X5000 and X1000: "conntrack" connection tracking match support (NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_CONNTRACK). Netfilter with "conntrack" is a great solution for a desktop firewall. For example:
  

  Code: Select all

  iptables -F
  iptables -t filter -A INPUT -j DROP
  iptables -t filter -I INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
  

  Basically, all network connections are blocked from the outside except our system has established the connections.
• Networking updates (including Netfilter updates)
• Sound updates
• Linux Git log
• Phoronix articles, reviews and news stories covering Linux 5.6

Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
