Subject: [PATCH net] ip6gre: add a rtnl link alias for ip6gretap
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2014 11:03:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1411549380-4337-1-git-send-email-nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> (raw)
With this alias, we don't need to load manually the module before adding an
ip6gretap interface with iproute2.
