Message-ID: <20060430142929.GA8901@wonderland.linux.it> (raw)
[Please Cc me, I am not subscribed to netdev.]
Can I rely on the presence of the $DEVPATH/driver symlink (e.g.
/sys/class/net/eth0/driver) to check if a network interface is a "real"
device insteaf of a VLAN or a bridge?

Subject: VLAN subinterfaces
From: Marco d'Itri <md@Linux.IT>
I wrote a script to handle persistent rules for network interfaces, but
I noticed that VLAN subinterfaces have the same MAC address of the
parent interface and I could not find in sysfs anything evident which I
could use in a rule. The only difference I noticed is that the VLAN
subinterfaces lack the device and drivers symlinks.
This problem affects anybody using VLANs, is there a good solution?

Another user (Debian bug #365248) reported that this applies to bridges
too. Is adding DRIVER=="?*" to the rules the correct workaround?
