Dennis, as I see you are a newbe. Do you know the difference in treating
IFF_UP in standard unix implementations on broadcast, nonbroadcast and
simplex
interfaces? Check the BSD and Linux code and learn a little bit... (Or
maybe you do not know the difference between these?)
I would not have pointed this if there was no mission critical software
relying on this flag. As of know all routing protocol daemons and snmp
managers
keep a look on this flag on P-t-P interfaces. So how the f... am I
supposed to use
your moronic board to run clients? No routing protocols and management
maybe?
I perfectly understand that you have personal ideas on how an interface
should behave, but as of now all of us interested in using your boards
do not
feel like rewriting gated, ucd-snmp and so on because you are a
stubborned ... ... ...

Yes, so you report 0. Verrrrrrrrrrrry smart.... As a result your users
have to rewrite either UCD SNMP or tkined to see traffic stats.
Otherwise
the SNMP manager discards the interfaces... (Actually a good thing to
do,
especially through the window).

CS010 and CS011 are the names of basic computer science courses at most
American Universities. Most english speaking people know this. Or maybe
you
do not know english...

Dennis get... lost....
I have tested it on three different mainboards... I would have tested
it on more but I decided that it will be cheaper for us to get a Cisco
with IOS 11.2 instead
of wasting our time.

Once again Dennis bulshit...
I forgot about another BUG. If you try to reconfigure the gorgeous
ET-INC board without downing it first
BSD kernel panics. Typical Dennis moronity, isnt't it...

Dennis, the people you called FAGs provide bandwidth for 40% of the
private Internet in the country...
