The device cant be up when this happens though, which may pose problems for some who dont want to down the interface. I dont know about the register tool, whether or not that takes more than one ethN device, but I have heard rumors that the codec itself will try eth0, eth1, etc until it gets an error back from the ioctl() saying that the device doesnt exist. If its pulling all those devices then it stands to reason that it will use them all when comparing the licenses/* files. But again I dont use the digium codec but instead the 3rd party one that as yet isnt released to the public, so I really cant say if this is true or not. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast IE +44 28 9099 6461 DE +49 801 777 555 3402 Utrecht NL +31 306 553058 US WA +1 360 207 0479 US NY +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.trxtel.com we pay you to terminate calls with us!
