From: Eric Lammerts <eric@lammerts.org> Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2003 15:11:23 +0100 The reason is that (in af_packet.c) packet_notifier(NETDEV_DOWN) sets sk->err to ENETDOWN, but packet_notifier(NETDEV_UP) doesn't clear it. Is this behaviour deliberate? Yes the behavior is deliberate. You want to be aware of the event. Just because the opposite event has occurred afterwards doesn't mean the first event didn't happen :-) - : 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
