Hi, I have the same problem as Mr. Horman mentioned, using latest /Documentation/networking/ifenslave.c. I think the patch:
http://galileo.gamepoint.com.au/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.3-rc1/2.6.3-rc1-mm1/broken-out/linus.patch caused this problem. Could you spend a short time checking your version of ifenslave when you have a chance. And, does anyone have idea why the change , which cause the error if a master interface has no IP addresses, was made? Command output is as follows. --------------------------------- $ ./ifenslave.new -v ifenslave.c:v1.1.0 (December 1, 2003) o Donald Becker ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). o Detach support added on 2000/10/02 by Willy Tarreau (willy at meta-x.org). o 2.4 kernel support added on 2001/02/16 by Chad N.
