This particular patch was removed because it was causing problems, even for people that weren't actually using physdev or ebtables (something about neighbor cache overflow, iirc). - Felix _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org http://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
