Subject: Missing interface flags in <net/if.h>?
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2009 22:00:44 +1300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <496C583C.7000300@gmail.com> (raw)

I recently made the change below to the netdevice(7) man page.  Probably,
analogous definitions need to be propagated from <linux/if.h> to <net/if.h>.

Cheers,

Michael
