It now works much better for me:
* we got rid of ifconfig
* it works for netdev != eth0
* arp on and off are symmetric as are ifdown and ifup

Didn't we decide we needed to also set 'arp off' on the bridge to avoid
the 'seen packet with own mac address' complaints?

Thanks,
Ian


I was hoping one of those guys working for one of those big shops would
have put a tap on this by now. Would be nice to know what this ethernet
frame before disabling the arp.

Retrying stuff this afternoon with new patch (the merge done by Ewan)
and possibly patch for new patch. Stay tuned...

thanks,
Nivedita
