I don't get where you got that idea from. Each and every netlink attribute value is like IPPROTO_TCP in an ipv4 header, the exact values matter, and therefore you cannot make changes that modify existing values. Therefore, you must add new attributes to the end of the enumberation, right before the __MAX value. > To be more precise, what I don't get is that when > I move the BRIDGE_XSTATS_STP definition *after* BRIDGE_XSTATS_PAD, the STP > xstats don't show up anymore in iproute2. Because you ahve to recompile iproute2 so that it uses the corrected value in the kernel header, did you do that?
