My system is based on a Debian system with a custom 2.6.17 kernel. dmesg reported the SKY2 network adapter as eth0, but it became eth1 in /sys/class/net. /sys/class/net doesn't show any eth0 whatsoever. The laptop I was using also had a firewire adapter, but I'm not loading any firewire modules at all. If I boot a Knoppix CD on this system, the ethernet becomes eth0 and the firewire becomes eth1. On my live filesystem, if I run udevmonitor followed by udevtrigger, I see = that the kernel is sending a UEVENT for eth1 only - even though dmesg say that t= he only network device is eth0. Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do about this in udev? I can probably handle this with iftab and ifrename, but I'd like to know if there is a udev way. regards, Aras Vaichas ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
