By adding the a module alias, programs (or users) won't have to explicitly call modprobe. Vhost-net will always be available if built into the kernel. It does require assigning a permanent minor number for depmod to work. Choose one next to TUN since this driver is related to it. Also, use C99 style initialization.

Instead of issuing (0) statements when !CONFIG_SYSFS which will cause 'warning: ', we'll use inline statements instead. This will effectively do the same thing, but suppress any unnecessary warnings.

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet at google.com> commit 3fa2a1df909 (virtio-net: per cpu 64 bit stats (v2)) added a race on 32bit arches. We must use separate syncp for rx and tx path as they can be run at the same time on different cpus. Thus one sequence increment can be lost and readers spin forever.

Hi Rahul, If you're certain that your problem isn't as Stephen suggested, you might want to have a look at this: --- (From http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/brnf-faq.html <http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/brnf-faq.html> ) How do I let vlan-tagged traffic go through a vlan bridge port and the other traffic through a non-vlan bridge port? Suppose eth0 and eth0.15 are ports of br0.

I'm sorry to bother you but I'm stuck I can not make a bridge work for me. My current configuration is: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:1d:7d:d1:06:bd inet Adresse:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Maske:255.255.255.0 inet6-Adresse: fe80::21d:7dff:fed1:6bd/64 G?ltigkeitsbereich:V according to all what I could find in the net. The following should

This patch fixes the incorrect interpretation of endianness of MLDv2 maximum response code within bridge's multicast snooping code.

Hi, I'm using linux 2.6.21.5 and our kernel is freeze. The problem is, if I create a Software bridge using $brctl command. and add two interfaces say, eth0.0 and eth0.1 using $brctl addbr br-lan $brctl addif br-lan eth0.0 $brctl addif br-lan eth0.1 and when i send traffic from a host connected to one port to host connected at other end, soon all the memory is dried up and and kernel
