[patch] (0/8) Adding 802.3ad support to bonding

From: Shmulik Hen (hshmulik@intel.com)
Date: Thu Mar 20 2003 - 10:14:09 EST


This patch adds support for point to point protocols (e.g. 802.3ad)
over bonding that need to know the physical device the skb came on. It
saves the real device in a new field in skbuff before overwriting it with
the virtual interface device in skb_bond() and __vlan_hwaccel_rx().

This patch is against 2.4.21-pre5 kernel.
