Any new user would be seriously frowned upon, because this is an easy side channel for proprietary extensions to the networking. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
