Subject: [IPV4]: Primary and secondary addresses
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.12-rc6~85
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8f937c6099858eee15fae14009dcbd05177fa91d;p=linux-2.6

[IPV4]: Primary and secondary addresses

Add an option to make secondary IP addresses get promoted
when primary IP addresses are removed from the device.
It defaults to off to preserve existing behavior.
