From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Stephen Hemminger Subject: [PATCH 0/7] bridge enhancements for net-next Date: Mon, 04 Apr 2011 17:03:26 -0700 Message-ID: <20110405000326.714524584@vyatta.com> Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org To: "David S. Miller" Return-path: Received: from suva.vyatta.com ([76.74.103.44]:42822 "EHLO suva.vyatta.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1750807Ab1DEAJt (ORCPT ); Mon, 4 Apr 2011 20:09:49 -0400 Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: These patches add more netlink support for bridge. It is possible to do basic configuration bridge with just netlink. Later enhancements will add statistics and parameters. The intention is to switch to pure netlink in future and support RSTP and deprecate the old ioctl, sysfs and STP code.
