I presume you are asking about installing a distribution which embodies that definition - I myself do not understand how to modify the "build process". But if the question refers only to "hacking" an existing build for someone's use - my answer is 'yes': * File /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules lists the names assigned to the device interfaces. [These names appear to be assigned in the order in which the respective devices were presented to the system -- I ran into this problem in 2008, with my no-wireless setup. Randomly a new build would initialize itself with my ethernet on eth0 (instead of on eth1) -- but there was code in the system which assumed the XO's radio HAD TO BE at eth0. Plus I found that if I had been using an external ethernet adapter with a particular XO, but then plugged in a different adapter -- that connection got assigned the next name (e.g., eth2). Nowadays I always check this file to verify name assignments - and manually edit names if they're not what my procedures expect.] * And names are merely "parameters" specifiable on whatever command causes that "device interface" to be created. For instance, 'wlan_' gets assigned by command 'iw interface add' (or equivalent). > > (and doesn't enable the 802.11s features in the firmware)? I'm not familiar with the various "methods" implemented in the software. But (for "hacking" an existing build) there might well exist a 'service' (reachable via DBUS) which disables the XO's 802.11s feature. mikus _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
