I e-mailed HPN upstream on 04/09 to ask if they ever submitted the HPN patch to OpenSSH's bug. Never heard back. Nothing turns up when searching for HPN there, either. Can someone else try to poke them into submitting the HPN patch? At least then, we can track its upstream status. -- Joshua Kinard Gentoo/MIPS kumba@gentoo.org 4096R/D25D95E3 2011-03-28 "The past tempts us, the present confuses us, the future frightens us.
