Hi,
I'm using an udev rule to rename network interfaces on my device. If a
particular interface is plugged before connman is started, the new name
will be used but if it is plugged after, connman will still use the old
name.
My gut feeling is that it looks racy; Do you think this renaming is
just cosmetic (i.e. test/list-services showing the old name) or could
it triggers bugs ?
I tried to write a small patch to have connman pick up the new name.
Right now, all it does is break ofono's ability to activate a context
(I'm renaming a 3G modem network interface).
I'll reply with the patch and below is the log when the interface is
plugged (hso0 -> gsm0) :
