From b41848b61bae30e3661efd4ec62ea380cedef687 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2006 15:46:52 -0700 Subject: netpoll setup error handling The beast was not always healthy. When it was sick, it tended to be laconic and not tell anyone the real problem. A few small changes had it telling the world about its problems, if they really wanted to hear.
