Re: netlink sockets and rtm_newlink messages

Alexey,
So that you dont forget, heres the patch:

                break;
        case NETDEV_UP:
        case NETDEV_DOWN:
-               rtmsg_ifinfo(RTM_NEWLINK, dev, IFF_UP|IFF_RUNNING);
                break;
        case NETDEV_CHANGE:
        case NETDEV_GOING_DOWN:
------------------

Wouldnt that spot be the best for NETDEV_UP/DOWN since thats the notifier
callback?
Also, can you remind me what if_change was for? netcarrier events?

cheers,
jamal
