It's definitely the same bug. > I will try changing kernel version to see if that resolves it. Well, compiling a vanilla kernel will not have the: bugfix/all/vlan-macvlan-propagate-transmission-state-to-upper-layer.patch in it, which introduced the bug. They probably left out the parts where the propagate have to check for NULL pointers to see if the propagation is supported ;-). Hmmm, I actually reported/fixed the same type of bug in 2.6.29: vlan-macvlan-fix-null-pointer-dereferences-in-ethtool-handlers.patch But then again a rewrite took place after that to make a better grouping of those functions which makes layering of those devices elegantly,fast and possible. Actually the rewrite is stable/finished around 2.6.34 ;-). If you don't need bonding I would check out 2.6.33.5 ;-). -- .signature not found -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
