dear all, I'm trying to track down a problem on a Sun V40Z server with 4 network devices grabbing random ethX device names. now, trying to force the device names to what I want, I got a __tmpXXXXX form of device name, which I think is a half-configured device... but which piece of software is to blame ??? kernel, udev, hotplug
it is a Fedora Core 6, fully updated (kernel-2.6.22.2-42.fc6 udev-095-17.fc6.x86_64) ifconfig reports it as: __tmp1930643048 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:23:CA:BC:CB BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Base address:0x3040 Memory:e70a0000-e70c0000 bond0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:23:CA:BC:CA inet addr:10.0.0.139 Bcast:10.0.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 inet6 addr: fe80::204:23ff:feca:bcca/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MASTER MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:7409 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3855 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1300152 (1.2 MiB) TX bytes:509271 (497.3 KiB) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:23:CA:BC:CA inet6 addr: fe80::204:23ff:feca:bcca/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING SLAVE MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:7409 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3855 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1300152 (1.2 MiB) TX bytes:509271 (497.3 KiB) Base address:0x3000 Memory:e7080000-e70a0000 .... help appreciated... so much :( davide -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:290677265 SKYPE:d.rossetti -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:290677265 SKYPE:d.rossetti - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
