From b00055aacdb172c05067612278ba27265fcd05ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Rompf Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2006 17:09:11 -0800 Subject: [NET] core: add RFC2863 operstate 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.
