My guess is that his kernel doesn't have options COMPAT_50 and he
didn't update his userland so the old backwards compatible PF_ROUTE
isn't in his kernel.

Hello again,

User land is from 9 Jan 2011, but COMPAT_50 was absent in the failing kernel.

Adding COMPAT_50 and rebuilding the kernel gives a working hme0 again -- thank you !

Erik

ps: may I suggest to note this in UPDATING?
