From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Olaf Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2009 10:42:57 +0000 Subject: udev and ISA network cards Message-Id: <4A44A631.5080900@ban-solms.de> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org Hi, I would like to use ISA cards in combination with persistent net rules, especially renaming ethX to something like internal / internet / etc. as this is somewhat easier to remember ;-) Is this at all possible? Or is this more a case of: will never work 'cause the drivers are not cooperating enough? Or even isapnp missing (this box is not playing along with pnp)? I have cards with 3c509 and ne driver. Both cards do work, apart from the persistent net stuff :-/ Monitoring using udevadm monitor shows udevd is at least doing 'something' (see snippet below) but it is either ignoring ISA or the kernel/driver is missing some information. udevadm info provides very little information: # udevadm info --query all --path=/sys/bus/isa/drivers/3c509/3c509.0 --attribute-walk looking at device '/devices/isa/3c509.0': KERNEL="3c509.0" SUBSYSTEM="isa" DRIVER="3c509" looking at parent device '/devices/isa': KERNELS="isa" SUBSYSTEMS="" DRIVERS="" Please advise. Thanks.
