Patch 2 replaces a cumbersome manual MAC address comparison with compare_ether_addr. Patch 3 removes a useless test against INT_MAX. Patch 4 modifies bond_check_dev_link to handle devices that leave carrier up even when adminstratively down. Due to lab machine adventures on my end, I was only able to compile test patches 2 - 4. Please apply for net-next-2.6. -J --- -Jay Vosburgh, IBM Linux Technology Center, fubar@us.ibm.com
