Hi!
It seems that iproute2 is not maintained any more and it doesn't build
with kernel 2.6.0-test5.
What tool one should use to set the interfaces, bridges and such up on
2.6.x kernels?
Regards

Using the patches from RedHat's iproute2 SRPM I can build iproute2
against 2.6.0-test5 headers with no problems, and it works. With TC
support, even.

There are no patches to iproute2 required to get it to compile against
2.6 headers; the only patch required was to linux/netdevice.h, which
has been included in 2.6.0-test6.
However, it would be wonderful if someone knowledgeable could take
over maintainership of iproute2 if Alexey can no longer do it. It's in
a sorry state at the moment, and most distros ship significantly
patched versions.

Is Alexey still the iproute2 maintainer? Has anyone sent him a patch
for 2.6?
