Package: ifrename Version: 27+28pre13-1 i think /etc/init.d/ifrename should use the -t option... which allows devices to take over already assigned device names... i just had an unstable box which was working ok with an /etc/iftab that explicitly specified eth0/eth1 mac addresses.
then i upgraded from hotplug -> udev and from 2.6.13 to 2.6.15 kernels... and the eth0/1 order swapped and ifrename refused to reassign eth0/1 and the system failed to boot properly. but ifrename -t fixes the problem... -dean --- /etc/init.d/ifrename 2006/02/03 03:04:54 1.1 +++ /etc/init.d/ifrename 2006/02/03 03:04:59 @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ case "$1" in start|reload|force-reload|restart) - $IFRENAME -d -p + $IFRENAME -d -p -t ;; stop) ;; -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
