I'm still not sure what you're getting at. Today, NEWADDR is generated once an address becomes IFF_UP, and DELADDR is generated once it's no longer IFF_UP. This behavior makes sense to me and I think it would be more consistent (and simpler for applications) to have the same behavior by default with SIOCGLIFCONF. -- meem _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
