The syctl values have a fixed format, like any other portion of the API exposed to userspace. So you cannot arbitrarily change the units to/from milliseconds and jiffies. - 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
