Hi list,
I have a 4-port T1E1 card with this lspci output:
# lspci -n -s05:08
05:08.0 0280: 14f1:8474 (rev 0c)
05:08.1 0680: 14f1:8474 (rev 0c)
# lspci -v -s05:08
05:08.0 Network controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. Unknown device 8474 (rev 0c)
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 74
BIST result: 00
Memory at fe900000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
05:08.1 Bridge: Conexant Systems, Inc. Unknown device 8474 (rev 0c)
Flags: 66MHz, medium devsel, IRQ 82
Memory at fea00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
I have the (GPL, but not in-kernel) driver compiled and when I
manually modprobe it, I get a low level device. Then I have to
set up the ports and create channels using the card specific
cfg utility. At this point I see new devices which I can manipulate
with my if[up|down]-hdlc scripts. Unfortunately, they are ethX
instead of hdlcX, but it all still works.
So, finally, here are my questions:
1 - How can I get the driver to load automatically, and execute the
cfg calls to create the low level device?
2 - What is the proper way to create the upper devices as hdlcX
vs. ethX? I know that I can use 'ip link set dev eth4 name hdlc0'
or something like ifrename for renaming once they're created,
but maybe I can change something in the driver code to have
them start out with the right interface name.
Thanks in advance for any hints or links to the fine reading materials.
-Bob Beers
