This box has 3 network cards ( 2 at the moment ) a buildin sis900 , and=20 2 RealTek cards one USB and one pcmcia. I use the pcmcia RealTek one as default , sis900 is not used while=20 borken and the usb one is used just sometimes for my LAN. I use on this box minimal initramfs ( FS drivers etc to boot ) but I get=20 the same problem without initramfs too. After upgrading from udev 106 to 107 ( later to 108 ) and rebooting the=20 box my network stoped working. I figured the 'cards names' looks weird , random they are called now=20 ethX_rename ( http://frugalware.org/~crazy/other/udev/sys_class_net.txt |=20 http://frugalware.org/~crazy/other/udev/ifconfig-a.txt ) as well I get for each card an long timeout ( 5 to 15 seconds for each=20 wrong named card ) on boot because the 70-persistent-net.rules. Deleting the rules before udev starts make the timout be human again (=20 like 2 - 3 seconds ) but the rules are still wrong because I get as=20 NAME ethX_rename. The only way to make my network work was to blacklist the drivers from=20 sis and the USB one, and edit the *-net rules manually but as soon I add=20 any other card , or remove the drivers from the blacklist I have the same problem. I've also tested udev 107 and 108 with a lot kernels 2.6.20.X ,=20 2.6.21-rc{5,6}.git{X} and latest -mm kernel and I have the same problem=20 on all. I noticed one more strange thing with the db , while in <=3D 106 the db=20 was like foo\@bar -> something , >106 looks here like %2fbar%2fbaz ->=20 something ( http://frugalware.org/~crazy/other/udev/udev_db.txt ) Going back to udev 106 make everything working again. ( with all kernels=20 with or without initramfs ). Any idea what could cause this problems ? Regards, Gabriel C ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
