Comment 14 for bug 112611

Speaking of advanced routers, I'm setting up Quagga on Debian, and
looking to do the same on 2 Ubuntu routers. When configuring BGP
sessions to 1 upstream provider's Blackhole route server, Linux >
2.6.20.1 is required for TCP_MD5 passwords.

What's interesting, is the debate about the kernel side, and it's
bleeding edge status... and how I find it's in Ubuntu's kernel, Feisty
and Gutsy, but *not* in Debian etch or testing.

How would a conservative Ubuntu kernel have such a bleeding edge
feature, that's pretty deep in the network stack, but not something
that's been in Debian for *years*, which is an isolated module?
