Re: [Ltib] [patch] ipv4ll

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Fritz,

I've build-tested this, but not tried it.  It seems okay so I've
checked-in the changes and uploaded the content to the GPP.

If anyone one else on the list has time to try/comment on this that
would be appreciated.

Thanks for the patch.

Regards, Stuart
