Yeah, when I thought about why PER_KERNEL was removed, I came to the conclusion that most Linux boxes are used as Layer 3 routers rather than Layer 2 switches. The 802.1d bridging code would be the only thing that operates on a Layer 2 level, but even that provides a Layer 3 interface. I figured that if you wanted to share VLANs across interfaces, then you'd have to have them bound together at the Layer 2 level, hence why PER_DEVICE on a bridge interface would do the job. :-) It was mostly the leftover documentation that was the reason for my question. I wasn't sure if there was a precompiler flag that turns on the functionality or not. Appreciate the help on this, though! chris -- http://headnut.org squirrel@xxxxxxxxxxx
