Hi,
The attached file updates 2.5 generic HDLC, please apply.
The patch includes: - new SIOCDEVICE ioctl for setting all protocol and hardware parameters of (HDLC) network devices, instead of using PRIVATE netdev ioctls, - the HDLC code is now split into hdlc_generic.c, hdlc_fr.c, hdlc_cisco.c etc. files, - all protocol parameters (timeouts etc.) are (should/aim) now configurable via SIOCDEVICE ioctl, - other updates and bugfixes, - farsync update from Bob Dunlop.
The patch should apply cleanly to 2.4.17, and I expect it backported to 2.4 (and possibly 2.2) when all drivers using it are ready.
There is binary and source incompatibility with 2.4 kernel code - users require new sethdlc utility.
This patch prevents dscc4 driver from compiling, I assume it will be updated shortly as well.
Thank you. -- Krzysztof Halasa Network Administrator [unhandled content-type:application/x-gzip] | |
