The IP stack shouldn't be too hard, we currently set skb->dev in ip_output, after that we only have the POST_ROUTING hook and ip_fragment which care. It wouldn't help with ipip/ip_gre though, at that point skb->dev must point to the tunnel device. - 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
