Seems false alarm. I've just tested 2.6.16(-Suse), and new VLAN devices have been registered as admin down. Same for 2.6.17 as even with my change __LINK_STATE_START was not transferred. > - new_dev->state = real_dev->state & ~(1<<__LINK_STATE_START); No reason to change this behaviour, we just need to stop messing with new_dev->state (IMHO too late for 2.6.18, but I've already been wrong ;-) Stefan - 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
