We are setting up a couple Linux SLES8 routers to connect hipersockets test and
production networks with separate OSA ports. One of them works as expected. The
other does not come up as a router, its /proc/qeth is as follows:

devnos (hex) CHPID     device     cardtype port chksum prio-q'ing rtr fsz C cnt
-------------- --- ---------- -------------- --     -- ---------- --- --- - ---
0600/0601/0602 xFC       hsi1   HiperSockets  0     no always_q_2  no 24k   128
0E40/0E41/0E42 x00       eth0       OSD_1000  0     no always_q_2  no 64k   128


Here is the entry for the router interface in chandev.conf:

noauto;qeth0,0x0e40,0x0e41,0x0e42;add_parms,0x10,0x0e40,0x0e42,portname:DEV0E00,p
rimary_router

Running 'rcchandev reload' doesn't have any effect. The only thing that works so
far is a manual "echo primary_router eth0 > /proc/qeth". Once this is done, it
works fine. I suppose we could 'dumbly' add this command at startup, but it seems
theres an underlying problem.
