Hi,
Would you mind if I added a comment to your bug? I what I would as is regarding the following snippet of
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network (lines 87-90)
oldhotplug=`sysctl kernel.hotplug 2>/dev/null | \
awk '{ print $3 }' 2>/dev/null`
sysctl -w kernel.hotplug="/bin/true" > /dev/null 2>&1
which is where hotplugging is specifically disabled, making the loading of the firmware impossible.
That can be demonstrated by commenting out (#) the sysctl -w ... line and rebooting.
Does using udev negate the comment #2 in the #113462 about unilaterally "enabling" hotplug?
Also lines (182-186) from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions in is_available()
HOTPLUG=`cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug`
echo "/etc/hotplug/firmware.agent" > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
modprobe $1 > /dev/null 2>&1 || {
echo "$HOTPLUG" > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
return 1
don't seem to help.
Thanks,
Andrew
