Message-Id: <44A3F4DA.4040802@myri.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org Hi, In our myri10ge ethernet driver, we print the interface name with netdev->name at the end of the myri10ge_probe routine. When the user wrote a rule to rename the interface, it looks like udev does the renaming after the end of the probe routine, which means we are printing the original netdev->name instead of the final one that udev sets. I thought that udev would be called during register_netdev (which we call in the probe routine). But, it seems it is actually called later. Is there any way to wait until udev is actually called? or to force it to rename before the end of the probe routine so that we can end the driver initialization by printing the final name of the interface?
