I'll continue to support the hidden flag for 2.4 and 2.6 to help existing setups but switching to the new device flags (or other solutions) is recommended". If there is currently no way to provide this functionality using arp_ignore/arp_annonce/arp_filter or their friends, why is this still a patch And is not integrated into the mainline kernel?
