What's wrong with my suggestion of having the iwarp driver create an "iwX" interface to go with the normal "ethX" interface? It seems simpler to me, and there's a somewhat similar precedent with how mac80211 devices create both wlan0 and wmaster0 interfaces. - R. _______________________________________________ ewg mailing list ewg@lists.openfabrics.org http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ewg
