Subject: eth1394 has problems with persistent-net with kernel 2.6.21
Date: Wed, 02 May 2007 09:19:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200705021119.39742.zzam@gentoo.org> (raw)
Hi!
As eth1394 had some "small" change in Kernel 2.6.21, it now has no
parent-device, and thus no DRIVERS="?*". So the generated rule for
persistent-net does no longer apply, and we get the known sympthoms of
devices called "eth?_rename" and 30sec timeout at boot.
The relevant change to that driver:

priv = netdev_priv(dev);
