The problem with resetting stats is it is _most definetely_ going to break management apps like SNMP. This is not to say this is not useful for testing and at times debugging - but backward compat and not pissing off the standards whic count on this long standing feature is more important. So if you can make it work without breaking apps, it will be more palatable i am sure to both Dave and Jeff. I would go as far as suggest that you should allow for arbitrary setting (of which 0 is a speacial case). cheers, jamal - 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
