I think this is a bug, but could be wrong ;-) Not a bug, only pieces of the transmit path need to follow this rule. It's only meant to detect devices which have been chained in a way which forms a loop during transmit. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
