Subject: does the creation of a mesh interface trigger a udev event?
Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2011 10:46:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201110271046.04592.david.goodenough@btconnect.com> (raw)
When I create a mesh interface:-
iw dev wlan0 interface add mesh0 type mp ...
does a device creation event appear through udev? Similarly while
the creation of wlan0 for a wireless card does create such an event,
do the monitor interfaces and phy's also create such events?
As far as I can see they do not, but I may be wrong - I may just be
listening for them wrongly. If they do, any clues as to how to spot
them?
I ask for two reasons:-
1) It would seem consistent if they did.
2) For a configuration system like the one Debian uses, it is those
events that cause configuration to happen and so it would be easier
to configure things like a mesh network if the events occur.
