It's defined by the hdlc patch, discussed about a year (?) ago here. Yes, I think I should post a note here. SIOCDEVPRIVATE - an older method of controlling net devices. IMHO, not very useful, could possibly be used as a devel hack. Many net drivers use it. A new patch which applies to 2.5.3 is in the usual place: ftp://ftp.pm.waw.pl/pub/linux/hdlc/ This is what I want included in base kernel. -- Krzysztof Halasa Network Administrator
