Failure of udev to rename USB-Ethernet adapters.
I'm not asking for help with this but the phenomenon is worth
noting for forewarnment.
My Squeeze router has been running for weeks with restarting.
Several squeeze-updates and security updates since the last
restart. This morning I restarted after changing the mouse
and found none of the USB-Ethernet adapters working. No
problem with the mainboard adapter which is eth0. Replugging
the USB-Ethernet adapters and starting Shorewall restored
functionality.
Were the USB_Ethernet devices not available when udev tried
renaming at startup? This appears to happen with USB-audio
devices at some startups. It's the first instance I've seen
of a problem with the USB-Ethernet adapters. I can turn
up debugging output from udev and look at another restart.
A task for the New Year if need be.
Regards, ... Peter E.
