From 0dec456d1fe73e0539625f0973ee8ef8fb805943 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2006 20:40:09 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [NET]: Add CONFIG_NETDEBUG to suppress bad packet messages. If you are on a hostile network, or are running protocol tests, you can easily get the logged swamped by messages about bad UDP and ICMP packets. This turns those messages off unless a config option is enabled. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Acked-by: Dave Jones Signed-off-by: David S.
