Re: Re: udev package and sysvinit
I installed KDE 3.4. I ended up loading quite a bit from testing. I
have more system difficulties that I need to work through.
UDEV 0.076-6:
I have the following in my interfaces files and it used to work.
auto lo
allow-hotplug eth?
mapping eth?
script /usr/local/sbin/get-mac-address.sh
# network card Kingston KNE111TX was eth1
map 00:C0:F0:77:D1:D2 net1
# linksys usb200m was eth2
map 00:13:10:5E:38:EB usbNet1
iface lo inet loopback
iface net1 inet static
address 192.168.254.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.254.255
gateway 192.168.254.254
iface usbNet1 inet static
address 192.168.254.8
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.254.255
gateway 192.168.254.254
I have a /etc/udev/ruls.d/010_local.rules file. I tried the link idea
but I could not get udev to re-read the rules, until I put the file in
the rule.s directory and found that udev automatically refreshed a file
that was changed. I could also touch the linked file. When I installed
udev, I had read that udev did not handle network devices. It must have
been old information that I see has changed. My rules file contains:
BUS=="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}=="FUJIFILM", SYSFS{model}=="USB-DRIVEUNIT ", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="S3100Camera"
# network card Kingston KNE111TX was eth1
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:c0:f0:77:d1:d2", NAME="net1"
# linksys usb200m was eth2
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:13:10:5e:38:eb", NAME="usbNet1"
After adding the net1 and usbNet1 lines, I must do "ifup usbNet1" to get
my network operational. Since I still must do the ifup, I tried to go
back to what I had by commenting out the lines in my rules file.
Something else has changed and without them I can no longer get my any
network interface to work (there is no eth0, eth1, eth2, net1 or usbNet1
device). As my interrest is now peeked, I hope to get the time to look
at the udev code to see what is going on.
About 3 weeks a go I installed hplip from testing. After I did that,
Firefox would hang and lock-up. I found if I left Mozzilla open, it
worked better, but it was slow. So I started using Konqueror, after the
last update to KDE 3.4, my system has slowed considerably. It is hard
to say why. Konqueror drives me up a wall in that I do not see how to
change the default mail client (it starts kmail which is not
configured), so I send posts manually and sometimes they do not go the
way I intend. It will be interesting to see if the list figures this
one out.
Thanks,
Winton
