Two problems. 1) it's a really ugly IPoIB specific hack to extend the sockaddr_ll structure, it won't work for anything else without adding more special tests to that af_packet.c code and 2) you inproperly rooted your patch, so we get stuff like this: > --- af_packet.c.orig 2005-06-29 19:00:53.000000000 -0400 > +++ af_packet.c 2005-08-05 13:28:49.000000000 -0400 Please find another way to extend the structure. That's why I didn't respond, this patch was too ugly for words so it went to the bottom of my prioritized list of things to do. - 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
