If like this index approach. Actually, we should have used indexes and not interface names from the beginning.

As a side note: the new IPv6 "redirect gateway ipv6" stuff also only uses adapter indexes, so I'm pretty confident that "install route and ifconfig via adapter index" is a good approach (if only to avoid spaces and national characters on the command line :-) ) - I was mainly wondering whether there is any case when the get_adapter_index() could fail on us... Going to "ifindex only" will actually make the route.c code in master less complex, as it has to deal with name-or-index today. gert -- USENET is *not* the non-clickable part of WWW! //www.muc.de/~gert/ Gert Doering - Munich, Germany g...@greenie.muc.de fax: +49-89-35655025 g...@net.informatik.tu-muenchen.de
