If anyone has any objections, please let us know. --------------------- From: Stephen Hemminger When network device's are renamed, the IPV6 snmp6 code gets confused. It doesn't track name changes so it will OOPS when network device's are removed. The fix is trivial, just unregister/re-register in notify handler.
