No. It used to support it for some other protocols. It would be trivial to add it back (most of the code is still there) and make it contingent on the IFF_LINK0 flag for Ethernet interfaces. Its use is generally discouraged by IP people. So far as I know, IBM is the only major vendor to implement it. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
