When the interface initializes using normal tools (without the echo
command), what shows up in dmesg?

Subject: Primary router question


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:DEV0
E00,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.
