A bad bug shows in kudzu when a network interface card is changed to another needing a different driver and kudzu is allowed to reconfigure:
A previously correct /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/if-eth0 of: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=10.0.0.2 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=10.0.0.0 BROADCAST=10.0.0.255 ONBOOT=yes is quietly changed to: DEVICE=eth0 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=10.0.0.0 BROADCAST=10.0.0.255 ONBOOT=yes This leads to "Network unreachable" messages on all attempts to access eth0. It also causes all mention of eth0 to be quietly removed from the routing table. It also makes it impossible to route add <ip> eth0, giving error message of "No such device". ifconfig produces a good-looking report on eth0 (so contradicting the "No such device" message above), but it takes careful examination to notice the missing fields. No error message is produced!!! -- Ron. [au]
