Subject: [PATCH 4/6] veth: Allow to create peer link with given ifindex
Date: Mon, 06 Aug 2012 18:14:39 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <501FD14F.2040209@parallels.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <501FD0F2.4040609@parallels.com>
The ifinfomsg is in there (thanks kaber@ for foreseeing this long time ago),
so take the given ifidex and register netdev with it.
