Fwd: Why don't net devices show up under /dev?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Hope you can help me out here, I know this isn't a udev-specific thing
but maybe you know:
Is there some historical reason network devices (i.e., eth0) don't
show up in the /dev fs? It seems to break with the 'everything is a
file' philosophy.

To compound matters, they DO show up under some other UNIX systems
(e.g. /dev/bge0 on my Sol10 box)


Thanks..
