Also this whole HW QOS feature bit facility is beyond bogus. What if the user enables a qdisc that the hardware can't handle, or a configuration of a hw supported qdisc that the hardware can't support? What if I have packet classification and packet actions enabled in the packet scheduler? These changes are terrible, and we really need you guys to sort out your problems with these changes yoursleves because your wounds are entirely self-inflicted and totally not our problem. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
