In addition, when Linus releases a new kernel (2.6.23), the net-2.6.24 becomes net-2.6 (the old one ceases to exist). At some point of 2.6.24-rc series, net-2.6.25 gets opened by DaveM, usually it's not available right after closure of 2.6.24 merge window. ...Then again, the trees are again rotated when a next official release is made... -- i. - 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
