I believe the compat attribute should work fine. One thing thing that is not explicitly supported as datatype, but works fine, is lists of attributes (using nla_for_each_attr), which looks like a good match for this case. But I think its questionable whether we should put any effort in NAPI rtnetlink support. It seems to driver specific for rtnetlink to me, and I'm not aware of any user of this. Ethtool might have its own compatibility issues, I'm not sure, but I don't think it would hurt to simply remove it from rtnetlink. - 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
