Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1833 Lines: 46 You can find the download, and other information at: http://scry.wanfear.com/~greear/vlan.html This release seems to work, at least in the limited fashion that I can test it. However, don't consider it production code (use 0.0.12 if that is what you want...) Please try it out, and let me know how it goes. I'm especially interested in finding out if the change-mac-address for a VLAN code works, as well as the ethernet MULTICAST code. Thanks, Ben Changes for this release: Added support for MULTICAST to the VLAN devices. Thanks to Gleb & Co for most of that code. Added the ability to set the MAC address on the VLAN. For now, you'll either need to set your Ethernet NIC into PROMISC mode, or maybe figure out some multi-cast ethernet address to set on the NIC. This has not been tested well at all. Added a hashed device-name lookup scheme. This greatly speeds up ifconfig -a. I was able to run an ifconfig -a in 20 seconds on a Celeron 500, with 4000 vlan devices configured!! Added vlan_test.pl to help me find dumb bugs. Feel free to make this much more powerful, and send the code back to me! vconfig.c has been converted to C code now, instead of C++. Thanks to MATHIEU. Significantly cleaned up the code w/out decreasing any useful functionality, I believe. -- Ben Greear (greearb@candelatech.com) http://www.candelatech.com Author of ScryMUD: scry.wanfear.com 4444 (Released under GPL) http://scry.wanfear.com http://scry.wanfear.com/~greear - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
