Greg,
How do I move forward with this path -- fixing the driver?
I have created a script[1] and call it in an
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules, but
now the ether interfaces and the hdlc interfaces are created at almost the
same time, and it seems like a real mess to sort out:
# ip a s
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: pmcc4-0: <> mtu 0 qdisc noop
link/void
3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000
link/ether 00:80:82:70:f8:9e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: eth1: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 32
link/rawhdlc
inet 192.168.10.47/24 brd 192.168.10.255 scope global eth1
5: eth2: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 32
link/rawhdlc
6: eth3: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 32
link/rawhdlc
7: eth4: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000
link/ether 00:80:82:70:f8:9f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
8: eth5: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 32
link/rawhdlc
9: eth6: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000
link/ether 00:80:82:70:f8:a0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
10: eth7: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000
link/ether 00:80:82:70:f8:a1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
I tried changing my local.rules file to 70-local.rules but,
of course, the order that the interfaces appear is not reliable.
Shall I start a thread on net-dev, for advice on fixing the driver?
Thanks for any advice,
