Hm, if we do this, will have to look into how to avoid the 'wireless' problem. We have an alternative to the above patch wherein we call nameif on an
individual basis instead of N times for N interfaces. The interfaces that do
not exist yet will blow errors when done with the above method.
We had the same problem and I made a quick page discussing it at
www.pcxperience.org/nameif/
This patch is against RH 9.0 but can be easily changed for other versions.

to make sure that HWADDR is available we also patched /etc/init.d/network

which is the bug state? initscripts-7.22-1 doesn't has any change There are various other places that don't really handle arbitrary device names correctly that need fixed first. Various things added in 7.26-1. Let's see what breaks. I filed bug 100622 for interfaces that are brought up by hotplug. |
Description of problem: It would be nice to be able to use named ethernet interfaces during the bootup process. Currently, nameif isn't called to name interfaces after their modules are loaded. This patch calls nameif after loading each network module. --- network-functions.~2~ 2003-03-06 10:45:59.000000000 -0600 +++ network-functions 2003-03-06 10:48:08.000000000 -0600 @@ -93,7 +93,8 @@ return 2 fi modprobe $1 > /dev/null 2>&1 || return 1 + [ -f /etc/mactab ] && /sbin/nameif LC_ALL= LANG= ip -o link | grep -q $1 return $? } Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-7.10-1 or earlier
