[PATCH 0/10] [bonding 2.6] propagating master's settings to slaves

[Amir Noam]

The following set ports to 2.6 the propagation patch set that went into
2.4.23-pre3. Also, fix a free_netdev() error that the previous patch set
introduced and fix a compile error using ipx_hdr().

Patches should be applied after the previous patch set (sent 2003/09/04)
that ported bug fixes from 2.4.


patch1:  Distinguish between modes that use a primary slave from
	 those that don't, and propagate settings accordingly; Consolidate
	 change_active operations and add reselect_active and find_best
	 opeartions.
patch2:  Change monitoring function use the above functionality.
patch3:  Modes that don't use primary don't use the above functionality.
patch4:  Decouple promiscuous handling from the multicast mode setting.
patch5:  Add support for changing HW address and MTU with proper unwind
	 in old modes.
patch6:  Same thing for ALB/TLB modes.
patch7:  Consolidate /proc code, add CHANGENAME handler.
patch8:  Enhance netdev notification handling.
	 Add comment block and bump version.
patch9:  Add missing free_netdev().
patch10: Fix ipx_hdr compile error.

Today is my work-at-home day, and I was actually putting these ("these" 
== previous patch set you mention) in my queue right now.  Hopefully I 
can get to this new set today as well.

Can you re-send these patches to me to privately?

I am missing these.

(netdev list server has been having problems lately... hopefully they 
are resolved)
