Do we need some extra operations on this socket. Like unit_fd or dev_fd which both of them need ioctl on them. Does this help? % grep 'sock_fd = ' *.c sys-linux.c:static int sock_fd = -1; /* socket for doing interface ioctls */ sys-linux.c: sock_fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); sys-linux.c: sock_fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); % -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
