The patch does look clean and attractive. I havent had time toi play with it myself - but given the way gettimeofday has been torturing me i will at some point. Also if you have time a 2.4.x patch would beThanks. All feedback I received so far was positive. I hope DaveM will merge it soon. I don't have plans to work on 2.4 anymore.
I finally got around to working with 2.6, and I ran into the new timestamp code. I would like to be able to have timestamps even though I do not have a socket structure (I am using a kernel module to grab all frames)... How would you feel about either exporting the netstamp_needed variable or offering a method that explicitly incremented or decremented the use count? Thanks, Ben
