Here is my promised udev rule to load LCS and CTC and thus all current
network devices drivers on s390x automatically. I'm still a bit unsure
where exactly to put it between all existing rules. At least it worked
in an F9 based internal build for s390x. The rule definitely has to be
before /etc/udev/rules.d/55-ccw.rules. Here we go
/etc/udev/rules.d/54-cu3088-fix.rules:
# LCS
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="ccw", SYSFS{cutype}=="3088/01", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe --quiet lcs"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="ccw", SYSFS{cutype}=="3088/60", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe --quiet lcs"
# could be either CTC or LCS
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="ccw", SYSFS{cutype}=="3088/08", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe --quiet ctcm"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="ccw", SYSFS{cutype}=="3088/08", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe --quiet lcs"
# CTC
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="ccw", SYSFS{cutype}=="3088/1E", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe --quiet ctcm"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="ccw", SYSFS{cutype}=="3088/1F", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe --quiet ctcm"
Comments greatly appreciated.
