Yes, this is by design: we don't want users poking around looking for random low-level screws to turn. In general, users should learn about private properties for a given driver by reading that driver's documentation, at which point hopefully they will understand a bit more about what they are actually fiddling with. -- meem _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
