2008-09-22net: network device name ifalias supportStephen Hemminger
This patch add support for keeping an additional character alias associated with an network interface. This is useful for maintaining the SNMP ifAlias value which is a user defined value. Routers use this to hold information like which circuit or line it is connected to. It is just an arbitrary text label on the network device. There are two exposed interfaces with this patch, the value can be read/written either via netlink or sysfs. This could be maintained just by the snmp daemon, but it is more generally useful for other management tools, and the kernel is good place to act as an agreed upon interface to store it.

2008-01-28[IPV6]: Add RFC4214 supportFred L. Templin
This patch includes support for the Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) per RFC4214. It uses the SIT module, and is configured using extensions to the "iproute2" utility. The diffs are specific to the Linux 2.6.24-rc2 kernel distribution. This version includes the diff for ./include/linux/if.h which was missing in the v2.4 submission and is needed to make the patch compile. The patch has been installed, compiled and tested in a clean 2.6.24-rc2 kernel build area. Signed-off-by: Fred L.

2008-01-28[CAN]: Allocate protocol numbers for PF_CANOliver Hartkopp
This patch adds a protocol/address family number, ARP hardware type, ethernet packet type, and a line discipline number for the SocketCAN implementation.

2006-09-28[NET]: Move netlink interface bits to linux/if_link.h.YOSHIFUJI Hideaki
Moving netlink interface bits to linux/if.h is rather troublesome for applications including both linux/if.h (which was changed to be included from linux/rtnetlink.h automatically) and net/if.h.

2006-09-25[PATCH] bonding: Validate probe replies in ARP monitorJay Vosburgh
Add logic to check ARP request / reply packets used for ARP monitor link integrity checking. The current method simply examines the slave device to see if it has sent and received traffic; this can be fooled by extraneous traffic. For example, if multiple hosts running bonding are behind a common switch, the probe traffic from the multiple instances of bonding will update the tx/rx times on each other's slave devices.

2006-09-25[PATCH] bonding: Add priv_flag to avoid event mishandlingJay Vosburgh
Add priv_flag to specifically identify bonding-involved devices. Needed because IFF_MASTER is an unreliable identifier (vlan interfaces above bonding will inherit IFF_MASTER). Misidentification of devices would cause notifier events for other devices to be erroneously processed by bonding, causing various havoc. Bug discovered by Martin Papik <martin.papik@ipsec.info>; this patch is modified from his original.

2006-03-20[NET] core: add RFC2863 operstateStefan Rompf
this patch adds a dormant flag to network devices, RFC2863 operstate derived from these flags and possibility for userspace interaction. It allows drivers to signal that a device is unusable for user traffic without disabling queueing (and therefore the possibility for protocol establishment traffic to flow) and a userspace supplicant (WPA, 802.1X) to mark a device unusable without changes to the driver. It is the result of our long discussion. However I must admit that it represents what Jamal and I agreed on with compromises towards Krzysztof, but Thomas and Krzysztof still disagree with some parts. Anyway I think it should be applied.

2006-03-03[PATCH] bonding: suppress duplicate packetsJay Vosburgh
Originally submitted by Kenzo Iwami; his original description is: The current bonding driver receives duplicate packets when broadcast/ multicast packets are sent by other devices or packets are flooded by the switch. In this patch, new flags are added in priv_flags of net_device structure to let the bonding driver discard duplicate packets in dev.c:skb_bond(). Modified by Jay Vosburgh to change a define name, update some comments, rearrange the new skb_bond() for clarity, clear all bonding priv_flags on slave release, and update the driver version.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
