I'm seeing some strange behaviour when the bond MAC address changes--the tipc LINK_CONFIG messages still contain the old MAC address embedded in them. This causes the other end to send back to us on the wrong MAC and the packets get dropped. I see recv_notification() has a case for NETDEV_CHANGEADDR so it looks like MAC address change was intended to be handled, but I'm not entirely clear on where the MAC address is supposed to be changed. Any assistance on debugging/patching this would be appreciated. Chris -- Chris Friesen Software Designer 3500 Carling Avenue Ottawa, Ontario K2H 8E9 www.genband.com
