        I really LOVE such messages. People telling that iproute is THE new 
network management tool... Ho yeah. So, now, I have iproute-2.2.4 installed on 
this f... RedHat ES 2.1. No man page. When I do a ifconfig eth1 down, ifconfig 
show it down, but everything is up. I try hard to find in /usr/share/doc a 
link, or a text description on how you can perform simple tasks with /sbin/ip, 
but there is nothing, nor a simple man page.

        Is there a way to make this lovelly product mature or will it stay a 
geek game ?

        Maybe the coffee was bad this morning.

                                                François.
