Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2011 10:46:04 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Message-Id: <201110271046.04592.david.goodenough@btconnect.com> (sfid-20111027_114614_749347_35689F19) Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: When I create a mesh interface:- iw dev wlan0 interface add mesh0 type mp ... does a device creation event appear through udev? Similarly while the creation of wlan0 for a wireless card does create such an event, do the monitor interfaces and phy's also create such events? As far as I can see they do not, but I may be wrong - I may just be listening for them wrongly. If they do, any clues as to how to spot them? I ask for two reasons:- 1) It would seem consistent if they did. 2) For a configuration system like the one Debian uses, it is those events that cause configuration to happen and so it would be easier to configure things like a mesh network if the events occur.
