Yes, send bugs to netdev; the problem has already been fixed post 2.6.15. If you want, the same patch could be sent for -stable (ie 2.6.15.X) -- Stephen Hemminger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OSDL http://developer.osdl.org/~shemminger - 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
