similar to: [Bridge] list now moderated for non-subscribers

The bridge list is open for outside posting, but I can close it if needed. The rationale is that I don't want to lose any problem reports from non-particpants. OSDL does enforce a number of anti-spam measures on incoming mail, but some will inevitably get through. If it gets to be a problem or you suspect other problems please notify me. -- Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>

Hi, I'm not sure if this is apprriate or not, but here goes anyway. The patch below updates MAINTAIER address Individuals (Only Andrew :): osdl.org -> linux-foundation.org Lists: osdl.org -> lists.osdl.org I assume the latter will change at some stage, but at least with this change the osdl/linux-foundation lists are consistent.

lists.linux-foundation.org seems to be funtional now, so I guess it is as good a time as any to update the MAINTAINERS file.

Pavel, you may be interested in my work on Cisco HDLC bridging: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=108802311131855&w=2 I have used it with the bridge driver (in 2.4) without any problems (yet ;)), and I am sure Krzysztof Halasa, the HDLC maintainer, would be thrilled if you managed to port it to a recent version of the kernel and make it a compile-time option. Oh, it also

Scratch that last comment. The kernel code I have now is identical to what I posted.

This is the 2.4 version which incorporates the observations from Kishore about 2.6. The existing 2.4 code set the age properly, but did not increment correctly for HZ=1000 and could send a stale (expired) configuration.

I'm truly sorry, but I get paid to work with 2.4. My employer understands the value of giving back to the open source community, and this is what we have at the moment.

Adding an STP state seems like a bad idea. Aren't br->stp_enabled and (dev->flags & IFF_UP) sufficient to determine whether check_link() should reenable a port? > -----Original Message----- > From: bridge-bounces@lists.osdl.org > [mailto:bridge-bounces@lists.osdl.org] On Behalf Of Mark Ruijter > Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 7:25 AM > To: Stephen Hemminger > Cc:
