Anyone familiar with the network dummy driver? With "yast2 lan" you can create dummy interfaces and assign addresses to it but it seems there is quite a history of problems whit it. Upto OS_11.3, you had to edit /etc/modprobe.conf and add/uncomment install dummy0 /sbin/modprobe -o dummy0 --ignore-install dummy install dummy1 /sbin/modprobe -o dummy1 --ignore-install dummy install dummy2 /sbin/modprobe -o dummy2 --ignore-install dummy ..... This way you could add quite some additional devices, and simulate a rather complex network, without real hardware. However, in 12.1 that does not work any more. Google presents a number of messages about a "-o" and dummy-nil options. Last july, big-shots like Dave Miller and Kreg K-H have shown there light over it, and signed-off some patches regarding it. Now, with 12.3 creating a dummy device with yast2 still seems not to work: I had to do a "modprobe dummy" manually and only then _one_ dummy device came up. However, i'm not able to create more than one dummy device. "modprobe dummy1 --ignore-install dummy" replies with: FATAL: Module dummy1 not found. I tried in the directory: lib/modules/3.4.47-2.38-desktop/kernel/drivers/net to hack around it, by: "# ln -s dummy.ko dummy1.ko" So, are there any other tricks to get this working in 12.x, (what was perfectly working in 11.3) Hans. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
