Can I hope that it will be done some day? Linux is used as router in many places, such behavior is a suicide. Of course, one can use ifplugd (so do I), but it's a crap for network OS, don't you think so? Who made linux network subsystem? Can Linus Torvalds say some words about this problem? I'm not a developer, but network administrator. So I can't make a patch. I can only find a solution or make it. So please make my work a bit easier -- Konstantin E-mail homecreate@list.ru Jabber homecreate@jabber.ru
