I need this because we deploy machines with more then 16 interfaces. It's not a problem for me to patch the kernel but a patch less to carry on each new kernel release is something less to be able to forget. I know, it's not an actual bugfix but it's also nothing to worry about since it definitely doesn't break anything nor unnecessary bloats the kernel. --- linux-2.2.20pre10/drivers/net/net_init.c Wed Sep 12 09:39:15 2001 +++ linux-2.2.20pre10-ratz/drivers/net/net_init.c Wed Sep 12 09:44:11 2001@@ -62,7 +62,7 @@ */ /* The list of used and available "eth" slots (for "eth0", "eth1", etc.) */ -#define MAX_ETH_CARDS 16 +#define MAX_ETH_CARDS 32 static struct device *ethdev_index[MAX_ETH_CARDS]; Regards and thanks for including the starfire.c changes from Ion, Roberto Nibali, ratz -- mailto: `echo NrOatSz@tPacA.cMh | sed 's/[NOSPAM]//g'`
