Re: [patch] ipv4: Update ip command line processing (take II)
From: Simon Horman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 26 Dec 2007 11:59:05 +0900 Recently the documentation in Documentation/nfsroot.txt was update to note that in fact ip=off and ip=::off as the latter is ignored and the default (on) is used. This was certainly a step in the direction of reducing confusion. But it seems to me that the code ought to be fixed up so that ip=::off actually turns off ip autoconfiguration. This patch also notes more specifically that ip=on (aka ip=::on) is the default. Cc: Amos Waterland [EMAIL PROTECTED] Signed-off-by: Simon Horman [EMAIL PROTECTED] I applied this to net-2.6 since I think it's a bug fix, and I also tailored the changelog header to more it clear this is a fix not just an Update. :-) Thanks! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-kernel in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
