I think I was using the Ethernet spec, not the IEEE 802 spec, when I did that, and ISTR there was no such bit. But yes, it'd seem reasonable to do this.
Thanks, I'll include this with the next patch I send out for 2.5 ... and I guess I'll send a "resync" patch for 2.4 too. (The pre8 code is missing ethtool support etc.) - Dave p.s.
