There's a related problem. /sbin/hotplug. I keep seeing odd failures from /sbin/hotplug scripts which go away when I ensure that fd0,1,2 are directed at something real. It's rather annoying because it currently means that, when my PCMCIA net interface on the firewall comes up, the IPv4 configuration works fine but IPv6 configuration falls dead on its nose without any explaination why. And, like I say, redirecting fd0,1,2 fixes it. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 PCMCIA - http://pcmcia.arm.linux.org.uk/ 2.6 Serial core
