Description Mathieu Segaud 2004-11-19 07:55:41 UTC

udev 046 does not properly handle net devices, as I reported earlier on linux-hotplug-devel@sourceforge.net. Kay Sievers quickly provided a fix.
For those who cannot wait (not long I bet) for Greg to release a new ebuild (or a new udev) I made an ebuild (udev-046-r1). The patch from Kay must be copied into files directory in your $PORTAGE_OVERLAY.

I'll do a new release with this patch in it later today...

Comment 4 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-12-19 07:59:19 UTC

What is the status of this bug? Is the fix in portage yet? If yes, what version of udev has the fix?

Yes, it is fixed in later udev versions.
