Subject: [BUG] ax25-tools-0.0.10-rc2 : no netrom device attached
Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2009 11:26:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AE427D4.4040802@free.fr> (raw)
Hi,
nrattach does not create any nr# device despite a success message :
ax25-tools-0.0.10-rc2]# netrom/nrattach -m 236 netbbs
NET/ROM port netbbs bound to device nr2
ifconfig does not show any nr device !
Investigating nrattach source file revealed that a conditional compile
instruction was added.
Actually, #ifdef instruction included in nrattach.c prevents
a call to startiface() funtion to be compiled.
This is because "notdef" is actually not defined by default.
I don't know exactly why this was added in nrattach source file but,
to keep backward compatibility with previous versions, the proposition
should be reversed, i.e. #ifdef replaced by #ifndef.
The new code would look like the following :
#ifndef notdef
if (!startiface(dev, hp))
return 1;
#endif
printf("NET/ROM port %s bound to device %s\n", argv[optind], dev);
However, if notdef is defined somewhere, there will be again no netrom device
created, but a false success message will still be displayed.
I don't really understand the purpose of this.
