From 3dbf8d56a2b7e0d738950daa16682e1e6dafb28b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick McHardy Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2008 17:52:05 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [MACVLAN]: Update Kconfig to refer to iproute Since the macvlan release I had at least 5 users asking how to configure it since the old userspace tool doesn't work with the version in the kernel. Add a pointer to the Kconfig help. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S.
