It is Linux SDT-GW 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4smp #1 SMP Thu Oct 20 01:51:51 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux. I will try to check it again on kernel 2.6.14 to see if the same problem exist or not. --- Regards ================================================================= / Seyyed Hamid Reza / WINDOWS FOR NOW !! / / Hashemi Golpayegani / Linux for future , FreeBSD for ever / / Morva System Co. / ------------------------------------- / / Network Administrator/ hamid@xxxxxxxxx , ICQ# : 42209876 / ================================================================ -----Original Message----- From: vlan-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vlan-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ben Greear Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 2:51 AM To: Linux 802.1Q VLAN Subject: Re: [VLAN] unregister_netdevice Hamid Hashemi wrote: > Hi, > > Sometimes ago I saw a post on the list which indicates that unregister_netdevice on vlan interfaces made some problem for restarting the network service. > Today I experienced the problem again and following Ben request I tried to unload the iptables module from the kernel to see if it is related to the iptables but it is not.
