Message-ID: <1917296016.1454031.1321139740439.JavaMail.fmail@mwmweb017> (raw)
to confirm: IT WORKS! (tested with 2.6.38 kernel) :)

this in itself is not enought to get it running, but with this one
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=129500124207256&w=2
(adapted for eth0/1), it looks good and i see packets flow between eth0/1
thanks again for the pointer !
regards
Roland
