Start it with /etc/init.d/net.ethx start 4. Stop it with /etc/init.d/net.ethx stop 5. Wait for the error P.S You have to be on the terminal to see the error message, it will not prompt throught the net terminal screen. Actual Results: unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth4.1000 to become free. Usage count = 6 Alot of times...

Could you please test baselayout-1.11.10-r5 and see if the problem remains?
I'm now on baselayout-1.11.10-r6 net-tools-1.60-r11 I found that I still can't use the following command (As what is being use on net.ethx script) ipconfig eth4.1001 down vconfig rem eth4.1001 I've to shutdown the interface "ifconfig eth4 down" totally, then only I can remove the vlan savely... The same error is there. I'm kind of suspect that it is a problem of the net-tools, Or the driver. Because I can do what ever way in Fedora Core 2. In Summary: ----------- Fedora Core 2 ------------- Fedora is using vconfig 1.8.2 net-tools 1.6.2 vconfig rem eth4.1001 [Work and remove eth4.1001] ifconfig eth4.1001 && vconfig rem eth4.1001 [WORK] My Gentoo -------------- vconfig rem eth4.1001 [Don't Work] ifconfig eth4.1001 && vconfig rem eth4.1001 [Don't WORK] ifconfig eth4 && vconfig rem eth4.1001 [work] Suggestion feedback.
are your fc2 and gentoo boxes running same kernel ? we could update the vconfig package in gentoo to 1.8.2 ...
Sorry it was an FC3... (Forgot about that it was the only fc3 box I've) Kernel version 2.6.10-1.766_FC3 Information of the software are vconfig-1.8-4 net-tools-1.60-37.FC3.1 After checking the net for a while for the error message. I'm suspecting that it WAS a kernel problem, as state in http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0501.3/2226.html Anyway I'm trying it with the old kernel 2.6.10-r8 and see what will be the result.
Created attachment 55240 [details] Kernel config Files (2.6.10-gentoo-r7) I'm trying with 2.6.10-gentoo-r7 but still no luck with it. Maybe it have something to do with my kenrel config. With attach is my kernel config files.
OK lastest information. Problem happen even in FC2 (on this machine) But not on eth0 (I've 6 eth in this system for fun) When ever an ifconfig ethx.xxx abc.abc.abc.abc then I'll have the the same problem Moving bug to CoreCode. I'm with Motheboard Intel SE7210TP1-E
Created a Bug in kernel.org http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4441
Problem related to ipv6 When ipv6 kernel module is not load Everythings work fine. alias net-pf-10 off Don't SEEM to help... Anyone know why? Thank for all help.
I don't think it's IPv6 related as such as my vlan setup works fine and all boxes have IPv6 addresses
But for my situation, Disabling ipv6 on kernel compile seem to solved all the problem. So how can I track the problem down to the track?
Please test vanilla-sources-2.6.12_rc2
*** Bug 88290 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
see comment #11
2.6.11-r6 seem to able to get the problem solved...
Please also close the upstream bug at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4441
This was resolved quite a while ago. Re-opening to change resolution and bring to closure.
Marking as FIXED.
And finally, closing.
