From now on we call modprobe in /etc/udev/rules.d/80-driver.rules

Added Christan to NEEDINFO: Christian, can you correct me if I'm wrong please? Here some informations about the persistent interface name changes: There are two significant changes in sysconfig package: - /sbin/getcfg removed - /sbin/hw{up,down,status} removed getcfg ^^^^^^ Since some time we provide persistent network interface names. Therefore we don't need to work with hardware descriptions in network setup scripts. From now on we will name network configuration files again ifcfg-<interface> and nothing else. /sbin/getcfg/ was formerly necessary - to get the current interface name from a hardware description -> obsolete - to find the right configuration file -> obsolete - to provide information about the device/interface -> obsolete (sysfs has improved in between) - to do some special tricks on S390 -> will move into some S390-package There are still some other packages which use getcfg. If you are maintainer of such an package please remove getcfg from it. For possible configuration files that contain hardware descriptions i will provide a conversion tool. Just contact me in such a case or for other questions. hwup ^^^^ directly. hwup is no longer used and therefore all hwcfg-* files are obsolete. Since most of these configs contain just the default driver we don't convert them. They will just be dropped. If some device needs some special driver, this may be configured in udev rules more flexible then before. Module options belong to modprobe.conf. It was a big mistake that they could ever be written in hwcfg-*. Manual device control is provided by sysfs: - to release a device: echo -n <device id> > /sys/bus/*/drivers/*/unbind - to activate a device: echo -n add > /sys/devices/..../uevent -- 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.

The README was meant for these which were used to the old configuration style. -- 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.

The persistent interface name section is still there, but documents that this is not done by ifup any more and where to adopt it (yast2 or udev rule file). -- 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.
