Re: udev renaming interfaces fails on SunBlade100 with qfe
Hi Luigi,
The prtconf output indicates your card is an IntraServer QFE; I don't
know how well the existing hme driver supports this device, but it
seems that it would treat the InterServer device as four HMEs rather
than an QFE and that would prevent 'local-mac-addr?' from being
consulted.
Assuming the device is 100% compatible with SUNW,qfe the patch would
be trivial but dependent upon the kernel version you are running
(which I don't believe has been mentioned). If your kernel supports
the new of_ interfaces, you could try:
diff --git a/drivers/net/sunhme.c b/drivers/net/sunhme.c
index c6f5bc3..2cba0de 100644
--- a/drivers/net/sunhme.c
+++ b/drivers/net/sunhme.c
@@ -3012,7 +3012,8 @@ static int __devinit happy_meal_pci_prob

+ of_device_is_compatible(pcp->prom_node, "SUNW,qfe")) {
qp = quattro_pci_find(pdev);
if (qp == NULL)
goto err_out;
Otherwise, for testing purposes only:
diff --git a/drivers/net/sunhme.c b/drivers/net/sunhme.c
index c6f5bc3..87a9f56 100644
--- a/drivers/net/sunhme.c

if (qp == NULL)
goto err_out;
If your card is not compatible enough to work properly as a QFE but
does work as individual HMEs, the driver could be patched to allow use
of the local-mac-addr values present in OBP.
Thanks,
