>> repeatedly failing and restoring an interface (ifconfig down/up), This is a known issue, Dave. The code that checks for interface down/up events is racy, it can get confused if you do up/down/up and it doesn't trigger before the interface gets back up -- it thinks that nothing changes.
The code is in if_up in interface.c, and I don't see a good way of fixing it. > I stepped back to 1.6.3 and the kernel and babel ribs stayed correct > no matter how much I upped or downed the usb0 interface while keeping > the wifi alive. Hmm, there have been some changes to this code in February, I'll have a look to see if I could have increased the vulnerability window. Thanks for the report, Dave. -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list Babel-users@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
