Thank you. (A patch for 2.5 kernel is in the works). Changes summary: 1.12 - January, 2003 * Added Ethernet device emulation for raw HDLC. VLAN and bridging compatible, tested with RAD ChipBridge (ChipBridge doesn't work with full size VLAN frames, though). * Added Ethernet device emulation for bridged Ethernet frames on Frame-Relay. * fixed subtle transmit bug in c101.c which could lead to transmitter hangs and duplicated frames with SCA HD64570 working in 8-bit mode. * no more "protocol 0008 is buggy" while using tcpdump, at last. * Frame-Relay DCE (network) side now sorts DLCI list in PVC FULL STATUS. Some FR DTE had problems with unsorted list. * Small changes to LMI logic with Frame-Relay. * tcpdump etc. should see all frames going through physical and logical interfaces correctly (exception: internal syncppp.c processing). * You can now query PVC device using sethdlc. * You can continue to use older sethdlc.c tool, but for new functionality you need sethdlc-1.12.c. >From a hardware driver point of view: A hardware driver has to call hdlc_type_trans(skb, dev) instead of using ETH_P_HDLC to set skb->protocol before netif_rx(skb): skb->dev = hdlc_to_dev (&port->hdlc); - skb->protocol = htons (ETH_P_HDLC); + skb->protocol = hdlc_type_trans(skb, skb->dev); netif_rx (skb); This change corrects problems with tcpdump/etc not seeing all inbound frames correctly. -- Krzysztof Halasa Network Administrator - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
