i apologize for truncating the full conversation.
regarding the following code blurb in LFS 6.5, chapter 7.13.1
for NIC in /sys/class/net/* ; do
INTERFACE=${NIC##*/} udevadm test --action=add $NIC
done
i've come to the conclusion that something is missing.
as best i can tell, the environment variable INTERFACE is not passed unqualified
to the dependent script /lib/udev/write_net_rules referenced in the rules file
/lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules, causing the error
util_run_program: '/lib/udev/write_net_rules' (stderr) 'missing $INTERFACE'
so far, my opinion is that either a rule to export INTERFACE needs to be
added to some rules file, which escapes me now, or this is just flat out a bug.
so, in the name of progress, i like to solict advice on what to do next,
before my hacking corrupts the still unbooted lfs filesystem.
since i have only one eth0 nic, is it safe to simply ignore the generation
of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and move on to chapter 8?
won't the single nic be installed as eth0, anyway.
again, my apologies for not including the entire conversation.
