root@db0zka:~# bird bird: Monotonic timer is missing This is probably kernel issue. Do you know what kernel version is it and what platform?

It is available through the IPKG-packaging system using "src dg8ngn-packages http://db0fhn-i.ampr.org/openwrt/kamikaze/packages/mipsel" in ipkg.conf.
BTW, this error message is harmless, it just means that BIRD uses older (and not ideal) kernel interface for timers, but it should work well too.
Indeed, it works ;) There was just the directory-path for "bird.ctl" missing :) Thanks. Bye, Jann
