If it's disabled there should be probably a netstat counter for the condition instead. It might be a reasonable simple beginner project for someone: - Convert all NETDEBUGs/TCP_DEBUG to a single netdebug sysctl - Then perhaps make a CONFIG to change its default: 0 or 1 - Add statistics counters for all of these conditions -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
