Hi,
i ve got a sun netra t1 105 running gentoo with linux-2.6.23.
On booting the second device eth1 is shown as eth1_rename
and all init scripts using eth1 fail.
/var/log/messages:
4396 Jan 25 15:58:26 voyager net eth1_rename: device_rename:
sysfs_create_symlink failed (-17)
Now i think this is because both interfaces are getting the same MAC
address.
SUN has this MAC address problem in his help and it s solving it by setting
"setenv local-mac-address? true" in ok prompt but that didnt help me.
I also changed the mac address in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.
Changing the MAC with ifconfig i can use the eth1_rename device as usual
but that configuration doesnt survive any reboot.
So i know you ve got more important stuff to do but i would be very glad
if you have
any solution/workaround for that problem?
thanks and greets,
Felix Matenaar
