SubjectRe: (usagi-users 02296) IPv6 duplicate address bugfix
From
In article <20030330122705.GA18283@ferrara.linux.it> (at Sun, 30 Mar 2003 14:27:05 +0200), Simone Piunno <pioppo@ferrara.linux.it> says:

usagi code does not act like that.

In my environment,

# ip addr add 3ffe:4242:4242::1 dev eth0
# ip addr add 3ffe:4242:4242::1 dev eth0
RTNETLINK answers: No buffer space available
# ip addr add 3ffe:4242:4242::1 dev eth0
RTNETLINK answers: No buffer space available

And, patch does not seem optimal. I'd take a look at very soon.
