Package: udev
Version: 0.105-4
Severity: normal
Since booting up with linux 2.6.21, I have:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,10000> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:0a:e4:e0:35:57 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000
link/ieee1394 12:34:56:78:12:34:56:78 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: eth2_rename: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 10 00
link/ether 00:0e:9b:b9:54:63 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
With 2.6.20, eth1 was my wlan interface and eth2 was the firewire
interface.
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules contains:
# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8169 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:0a:e4:e0:35:57", NAME="eth0"
# PCI device 0x14e4:0x4318 (bcm43xx)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:0e:9b:b9:54:63", NAME="eth1"
# Firewire device 1234567812345678 (ohci1394)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="12:34:56:78:12:34:56:78", NAME="eth2"
There was also a delay during boot, I *think* it was during the 'waiting
for /dev to be fully populated' stage, but I am not sure.
