Hi there!
I can no longer connect to my ISDN peers. I think the reason is a recent
change in the new udev.
I have two rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-capi.conf:
KERNEL=="capi", NAME="capi20", SYMLINK+="isdn/capi20faxCAPI",
GROUP="uucp", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="capi*", NAME="capi/%n"
The first renames /dev/capi to /dev/capi20 and creates a symlink I do
not need. The second creates a device in the capi sub-directory.
But I get this in my syslog:
Apr 08 15:34:34 [udevd] NAME="capi20" ignored, kernel device nodes can
not be renamed; please fix it in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-capi.rules:1_
Apr 08 15:34:34 [udevd] NAME="capi/%n" ignored, kernel device nodes can
not be renamed; please fix it in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-capi.rules:3_
Indeed, the udev(7) man page has this:
------------------------snip--------------------------------------------
The following keys can get values assigned:
NAME
The name to use for a network interface. The name of a device node
can not be changed by udev, only additional symlinks can be
created.
------------------------snap--------------------------------------------
An older version, like currently on http://linux.die.net/man/7/udev ,
still has this:
------------------------snip--------------------------------------------
NAME
The name of the node to be created, or the name the network
interface should be renamed to.
------------------------snap--------------------------------------------
So it seems that a /dev/capi gets created which cannot be renamed any
more, and so I cannot have a /dev/capi/* device.
Any ideas what to do about this? Google does not find anything when I
search for the "kernel device nodes can not be renamed" syslog message.
