5 Can you please data-capture that bug and file it for him then.

7 We really need to hear about hidden bugs like this.

14 Write plaintext (or wiki markup), adding the XML is a fairly trivial
15 transform.

21 I've got some very complex network setups that I have documented and
22 supported. My homedir has several of them from my own experience:
23 http://dev.gentoo.org/~robbat2/conf.d-net/
24 Includes dual-homing, multi-homing, and HE.net IPv6 tunnels.
25 I wrote a lot of the original bonding, vlan, mac-changer, bridging code
26 in BL1.

28 Better documentation on how to set up the complex network configs would
29 be great, but the net.example is too long already.
