Subject: [PATCH] fix tuntap oversight
Date: Sun, 11 Apr 2004 23:59:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040412065947.GC18810@net-ronin.org> (raw)

Hi everyone,

This 2.6.5 patch for the universal tuntap driver allows setting the MAC
address via ifconfig(8).  

I'm not subscribed to netdev so if you could CC me that'd be awesome.
