Subject: Re: [PATCH net-2.6][NEIGH] Updating affected neighbours when about MAC address change

Hi,
Oop, I am TWICE sorry ! I wrongly attached a wrong, empty file.
Attached here is the patch.

Regarding your answer;  I accept it and I will soon send a revised
version of this patch (making changes to
 arp_netdev_event() and ndisc_netdev_event().)
I had  IPv4 in mind, there is no reason that it will no be also in IPv6.

Regads,
David Shwatrz
