Re: [mpls-linux-devel] VPLS implementation - introductory works

[<win...@fr...>]

two happy hours to install all the git sources of mpls-linux onto  
recent lenny(debian)-2.6.29 without any problem:-).
I'd like to know, is there anything cool sitting in the git source  
besides those are already on the home page of wiki?

Thanks,
-Wind
