Wrong mailing list; use netdev (@vger) instead. lkml is the right mailing list for reporting Linux bugs. this is an extermely harmful trend i've seen lately: some kernel hackers going out on a limb directing the flow of bugreports _away_ from lkml, by suggesting to testers that lkml is somehow inappropriate for reporting Linux kernel bugs. It's not even the standard "I Cc:-ed netdev, maybe they are interested in this" message but the above, plain incorrect: "this is the wrong mailing list" message. Mikael, what you do is as harmful to Linux as if you were intentionally putting bugs into the kernel source. In fact it's more harmful because it is irreversible: bugs you put into Linux i can fix and i can review all past patches you did to undo the damage - tester attention and feedback you redirect we cannot direct back. Stop it!
