[yellowfin] hamachi - 2.4 kernel problems

[Keith Underwood]

<sigh>  Something was broken by the people who ported the driver to 2.4
and I haven't had time to look through it.  Is this a module or built in
driver?  I'll see if I can't look through and find what they broke
tonight.

What number do you get with the "Something Wicked happened" message?
