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. Wonko
