ethernet and pointopoint
hello, Is there reason why I can't set pointopoint for ethernet? I have to computers (and two 100mbps ethernet cards) connected via null-modem ethernet cable (with no hub in between). So since there's no way to have more than two hosts talking to each other for all intended purposes it IS a pointopoint link. looking at net/core/dev.c:dev_change_flags() I see that I can't pass IFF_POINTOPOINT to it via ioctl, and it will be just sillently dropped, with no error reported back to ifconfig. -- Adam http://www.eax.com The Supreme Headquarters of the 32 bit registers - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
