Re: [Ltib] Using iproute(2)

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Jorge,

Is the newer one really any better?

I don't really have the time to upgrade packages at the moment (adding
is easy, full regression test, no so).

What is the work-around, if it's not too bad I'd suggest using that.

Upgrading a package should be straightforward.  What issue did you run into?

Regards, Stuart
