Cisco Cisco IPICS Release 2.1 Licensing Information

*    - 2002/02/18 Erik Habbinga <erik_habbinga @ hp dot com> :

*       - ifr2.ifr_flags was not initialized in the hwaddr_notset case,

*         SIOCGIFFLAGS now called before hwaddr_notset test

*

*    - 2002/10/31 Tony Cureington <tony.cureington * hp_com> :

*       - If the master does not have a hardware address when the first slave

*         is enslaved, the master is assigned the hardware address of that

*         slave - there is a comment in bonding.c stating "ifenslave takes

*         care of this now." This corrects the problem of slaves having

*         different hardware addresses in active-backup mode when

*         multiple interfaces are specified on a single ifenslave command

*         (ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1).

*

*    - 2003/03/18 - Tsippy Mendelson <tsippy.mendelson at intel dot com> and

*                   Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>

*       - Moved setting the slave's mac address and openning it, from

*         the application to the driver. This enables support of modes

*         that need to use the unique mac address of each slave.

*         The driver also takes care of closing the slave and restoring its

*         original mac address upon release.

*         In addition, block possibility of enslaving before the master is up.

*         This prevents putting the system in an undefined state.

*

*    - 2003/05/01 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>

*       - Added ABI version control to restore compatibility between

*         new/old ifenslave and new/old bonding.

*       - Prevent adding an adapter that is already a slave.

*         Fixes the problem of stalling the transmission and leaving

*         the slave in a down state.

*

*    - 2003/05/01 - Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>

*       - Prevent enslaving if the bond device is down.

*         Fixes the problem of leaving the system in unstable state and

*         halting when trying to remove the module.

*       - Close socket on all abnormal exists.

*       - Add versioning scheme that follows that of the bonding driver.

*         current version is 1.0.0 as a base line.

*

*    - 2003/05/22 - Jay Vosburgh <fubar at us dot ibm dot com>

* - ifenslave -c was broken; it's now fixed

* - Fixed problem with routes vanishing from master during enslave

*   processing.

*

*    - 2003/05/27 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>

* - Fix backward compatibility issues:

*   For drivers not using ABI versions, slave was set down while

*   it should be left up before enslaving.

*   Also, master was not set down and the default set_mac_address()
