If Devuan decides to use a different device name naming scheme apart from the one discussed several months ago (a year ago?), it will result in breaking simple-netaid-backend and simple-netaid-gui. I used the naming scheme en* for ethN and wl* for wlanN.
Regarding this discussion what I have to say is what a Captain Obvious would tell: 'Computers do not read minds, not even minds read other minds'. Therefore, if I were in a position to take decisions I would not expect a computer to know what I need. However, a computer should have no difficulty processing data. A decent OS should save a map of how hardware is connected, somewhat like a hardware tree with all points fully defined. That way, if on a future boot, nodeX is not found or is replaced with some other hardware, nodeZ, that we assume existed before, will continue to be assigned with the same device name. The above should be unaffected by the worst of race conditions provided these do not result in a complete OS freeze. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
