Hello !
I am running CURRENT from 27 jul.
So, I have PCI PnP Ethernet Adaptor and wrote in kernel config:
> controller pnp0
> device ed0 at isa? disable port 0x280 irq 10 iomem 0xd8000
As usually this string included ethernet driver code into kernel
and my card was found automaticly. But this time I pointed my
eyes to dmesg output and found interesting thing:
> ed0: <NE2000 PCI Ethernet (RealTek 8029)> irq 12 at device 9.0 on pci0
> ed0: address 00:00:21:c7:5b:a7, type NE2000 (16 bit)
> devclass_alloc_unit: ed0 already exists, using next available unit number
> isa0: <ISA bus> on motherboard
> ed1: not probed (disabled)
So, what should do kernel when I insert new ISA ethernet into my machine and
enable ed0 ? Logic tells that ed0 will change its name to ed1, and
new card will stay ed0.
Why my pnp ethernet was found as ed0 but not ed1 ?
So, I would ask -- is this feature or bug ? If I am temporary changing my
network devices configuration can I be sure that ethernet names will not
be automaticly changed ?
