In hotplug-20040401, the net.agent package calls /sbin/ifrename. In wireless-tools-27_pre17, ifrename is in /usr/sbin. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
heh, that's funny as the ifrename author send me that patch. Actually, now that udev handles renaming network devices, I recommend using it instead of ifrename for 2.6. Are you using a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel?
I'm running 2.6 and wasn't using ifrename *NOR* udev, since devfs by itself seemed to give me all I needed. With the proliferation of LAN cards on my system, though, I probably will have to give udev a look.
Ok, I've fixed this in the next release of the hotplug package (today or tommorrow.)
Greg Kroah-Hartman > heh, that's funny as the ifrename author send me that patch. heh, that's funny, you did not even bothered to double check with the siad author;-) The Wireless Tools package by default install in /usr/local/sbin/ Debian by default install it in /sbin/ Slackware by default install it in /sbin/ Red-Hat/Fedora by default install it in /sbin/ Mandrake by default install it in /sbin/ SuSE by default install it in /usr/sbin/ But it does not matter anyway, as each distro is supposed to fix its hotplug scripts anyway... > Actually, now that udev handles renaming network devices, I recommend using > it instead of ifrename for 2.6. I won't even go there, but there are some configurations that udev doesn't support yet. Have fun... The author
