It's a matter of a few minutes to add the code, and a few hours to test it. The difficult part is coming up with good interfaces. The kernel module API, kernel locking, and the syscall interfaces must all be designed and documented. If you need a one-off static setting, you can do it by passing the desired VLAN with a module option, and just write that value directly to the VLT register. Doing it this way avoids all of the interface and locking issues. -- Donald Becker [email protected] Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Scyld Beowulf cluster system Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993 _______________________________________________ vortex mailing list [email protected] http://www.scyld.com/mailman/listinfo/vortex
