We can also use ifindex and hold a reference. We won't access input_dev too often so a __dev_get_by_ifindex() won't be too expensive given the number of interfaces is not too big but that's another issue. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
