problem with arp-request

okay, I remember that in click 1.1 :

line 36: While configuring `CheckIPHeader at 18 :: CheckIPHeader':
  warning: IP header unaligned, cannot use fast IP checksum
  (Try passing the configuration through `click-align'.)

this was for a raw config written to /proc/click/config

but click 1.2.0 doesn't give this warning anymore.

Can this be the difference ? Is there something changed about this in
click 1.2.0 ?

Is it then necessary to use the tool click-align ?

Maybe it would be interesting to have a command line for the most
optimised config in the FAQ or something ?
e.g. ../tools/click-fastclassifier/click-fastclassifier -k test.router
|../tools/click-devirtualize/
click-devirtualize -k|../tools/click-install/click-install

What do you use ?

regards,
Brecht
