Hello. I'm trying to get NDT working on Debian Wheezy. When i run the 
tests, they seem to start but then nothing else is displayed:



TCP/Web100 Network Diagnostic tool v3.6.5
Click START to start the test

** Starting test 1 of 1 **
Connection to 'ndt01.drake.edu' [ndt01.drake.edu/10.11.1.5] to run test
Connected to: ndt01.drake.edu-- Using IPv4 address



If i run ndtd with "-dddd", this is the output i get from it:

As for how i set this up, Debian uses a 3.2.x kernel, so i got the 
kernel patch from web10g.org instead of from www.web100.org. After 
installing the patched kernel i installed both the newer Web10g and 
older Web100 userlands. Then i installed NDT. I can provide detailed 
steps on exactly what commands i ran, but i suspect the problem is with 
the kernel patch since the NDT debug output mentions it could not parse 
/proc/web100/header. How can i get the /proc/web100 directory to show up 
with the newer Web10g patches? The Web100 patches don't seem to be 
available for newer kernels, and the Web100 download page even 
specifically says to download the Web10g patch instead. What do i need 
to do differently to make this work?

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.
