The first patch makes VLAN code quieter w/regard to the /var/log/messages output. The second fixes what I believe are two memory/resource leaks. I ran a perl script that created and destroyed thousands of VLANs...and my box is still standing, so I think the changes are good... Please look them over for sanity though, I may be mis-understanding some of Dave's changes... Patches are against 2.4.20-rc1 Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear President of Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com ScryMUD: http://scry.wanfear.com http://scry.wanfear.com/~greear
