https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=210888 Summary: Kernel chooses USB bus numbers randomly, so networking via USB fails Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rolf@barinka.de QAContact: qa@suse.de This is my kernel: 21: uname -a Linux l3 2.6.16.21-0.25-default #1 Tue Sep 19 07:26:15 UTC 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Normally, in about 70% of cases, this happens: <6>ehci_hcd 0000:00:10.3: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 <6>uhci_hcd 0000:00:10.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 <6>uhci_hcd 0000:00:10.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 <6>uhci_hcd 0000:00:10.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4 <6>usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 <6>usb 3-1: new device found, idVendor=057c, idProduct=3d00 <6>usb 3-1: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 <6>usb 3-1: Product: USB DSL Device <6>usb 3-1: Manufacturer: AVM <6>usb 3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice <6>ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:09.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 201 <6>eth1: register 'cdc_ether' at usb-0000:00:10.1-1, CDC Ethernet Device, 00:15:0c:37:e4:65 <6>usbcore: registered new driver cdc_ether .. and networking works. But in 30% of cases: <6>uhci_hcd 0000:00:10.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 <6>uhci_hcd 0000:00:10.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 <6>uhci_hcd 0000:00:10.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 <6>ehci_hcd 0000:00:10.3: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4 <6>usb 2-1: new device found, idVendor=057c, idProduct=3d00 <6>usb 2-1: new device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 <6>usb 2-1: Product: USB DSL Device <6>usb 2-1: Manufacturer: AVM <6>usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice .. and no eth1 is provided, and networking fails. This is my /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-usb-id-00:15:0c:37:e4:65 : BOOTPROTO='dhcp' BROADCAST='' IPADDR='' MTU='' NAME='AVM USB DSL Device' NETMASK='' NETWORK='' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='auto' UNIQUE='FKGF.dyjIwAU2zY1' USERCONTROL='no' _nm_name='bus-usb-2-1:1.0' So "bus-usb-2-1:1.0" is configured for a device on "usb 3-1", but this works. Strange. When the device is on "usb 2-1", it doesn't work. Is there a better way to configure the device in /etc/sysconfig/network? Or is there a way to choose usb bus numbers in a definitely? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
