Adding "not connected" bit flag to netdev solves this problem: dial-up devices would be marked as running (-> direct route present - look, they _are_ really running). Could be exported to userspace as IFF_DORMANT_3LUP or whatever. No races either. -- Krzysztof Halasa - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
