Subject: [RTNETLINK 00/04]: rtnl_link improvements

From: Patrick McHardy <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2007 19:38:13 +0200 (MEST)

These patches simplify the rtnl_link API and add support for specifying
the initial device address. The rtnl_link patches depend on the VLAN fix
because I didn't want to build on top of the broken address handling.

Please apply, thanks.
