Sysfs tagged directories are not supported, but with 2.6.29 you can use network namespaces. There are some limits - you can't move a physical network device out of the initial network namespace, and (veth) devices which are not in the initial network namespace just don't show up in /sys/class/net (since we can't tag them). But you can use network namespaces. -serge -- 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/
