-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-10778 2012-07-19 08:28:26 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : biosdevname Product : Fedora 17 Version : 0.4.1 Release : 1.fc17 URL : http://linux.dell.com/files/biosdevname Summary : Udev helper for naming devices per BIOS names Description : biosdevname in its simplest form takes a kernel device name as an argument, and returns the BIOS-given name it "should" be. This is necessary on systems where the BIOS name for a given device (e.g. the label on the chassis is "Gb1") doesn't map directly and obviously to the kernel name (e.g. eth0). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Updated the sources to 0.4.1. This version fixes quite a few BZs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Jul 17 2012 Praveen K Paladugu <[email protected]> - 0.4.1-1 - Fix autoconfig for Fedora systems - Make sure that vpd scan only runs on Dell systems, also blacklist Atheros wireless cards which hang when vpd is read. - Add fixes to biosdevname to support cards that export multiple network ports per PCI device (chelsio/mellanox). * Wed May 2 2012 Praveen K Paladugu <[email protected]> - 0.4.0-1 - Create detached signature - Fix man page to use new naming convention - Remove unused variables from Stephen Hemminger [[email protected]] - Use Physical device for slot numbering for embedded SR-IOV cards - Add tracking of ifindex to eths structure - Fix naming for add-in network adapters when SMBIOS version is invalid - Read VPD-R on Dell systems only -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #712291 - Very long udev initialization on ASUS EeePC 901 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712291 [ 2 ] Bug #770805 - [abrt] kernel: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 22s!
