Hi Vivek: TIPC should be able to utilize the Ethernet interfaces listed via "ifconfig". Most Linux systems seem to be configured by default with interface names like "eth0" and "eth1", but I think other names could also be used (like "fei0" and "motsecc0"); you may have to do some non-standard configuration of your Linux system to allow this though ...
If "ifconfig" lists an interface name that TIPC can't attach to, be sure to let us know; that sort of behavior would appear to be a bug.

I tried eth0 and it worked. But probably it does not have anything to do with the name length cos fei0 also does not work. Looks like Linux does not understand any other interface names other than eth.

Just guessing but perhaps the mottsec0 device name is too long. Can you change the name to 4 characters like eth0. The code is here: http://lxr.linux.no/source/net/tipc/bearer.c#L473 What version of tipc/linux are you using? Check the output of # dmesg. -- // Randy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
