Subject: [patch] eliminte unused /proc/sys/net/ethernet
Date: 29 May 2006 08:03:35 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <yq0r72dt4vc.fsf@jaguar.mkp.net> (raw)

Hi,

Given that /proc/sys/net/ethernet is > 10 years old and empty - maybe
we should just nuke it off the face of the planet?

Cheers,
Jes

The /proc/sys/net/ehternet directory has been sitting empty
for more than 10 years - eliminate it!
