Subject: [PATCH] man: systemd.netdev - make it clear that we do not touch
|
|
preexisting netdevs
|
|
|
|
We will happily use bridges/bonds as master devices, but we will not change their settings if they were created by
|
|
someone else.
|
|
|
|
(cherry picked from commit 7c1cff4ff79f3121189403a8c1b7c350925b3aaa)
