Hi all, 1) /sbin/getcfg* has gone! (Alpha 7) 2) /sbin/hwup has changed, no more sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-* 1) /sbin/getcfg* has gone! (Alpha 7) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I scanned all packages and here the files that still contains a reference to getcfg* (mostly getcfg-interface): /etc/init.d/dhcrelay /etc/init.d/dhcpd /etc/init.d/ntop /etc/preload.d/later /etc/xen/scripts/xen-network-common.sh /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/setup-network.sh /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 /usr/lib/openwbem/c++providers/libomc_ip_interface_profile.so.1.0.0 /usr/share/doc/packages/ifplugd/ifplugd.init /usr/share/doc/packages/powersave/contrib/acpi_hotkeys_Samsung_P35 /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2/network/autodocs/NetworkDevices.html These are mostly occurences of getcfg-interface, which was used to translate hardware descriptions into interface names. You may just drop that: H=get_interface_hardware_descriptor I=getcfg-interface H use I has to replaced by I=get_interface_hardware_descriptor use I All configuration files that contain hardware descriptions have to be converted. For this purpose there is /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/hwdesc2iface For a sysconfig style config file you may call hwdesc2iface <file> <variable_start> It converts all variables that start with variable_start. If a variable contains multiple values all will be converted. Example11: ifcfg-bond0 ... BONDING_SLAVE_1=eth-id-... BONDING_SLAVE_2=pci-bus-... ... Just call hwdesc2iface ifcfg-bond0 BONDING_SLAVE This will convert both variables to BONDING_SLAVE_1=ethX BONDING_SLAVE_2=ethY Example2: ifcfg-br0 ... BRIDGE_PORTS="eth-id-... bus-pci-..." ... Just call: hwdesc2iface ifcfg-br0 BRIDGE_PORTS Result BRIDGE_PORTS="ethX ethY" For other syntax of configuration files you may call hwdesc2iface to convert the values: zoz@agadez:~> hwdesc2iface id 11:de:ad:be:ef:99 eth99 zoz@agadez:~> hwdesc2iface bus pci 0000:02:02.0 ath0 zoz@agadez:~> 2) /sbin/hwup has changed, no more sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg-* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ There is still a small /sbin/hwup, but it does not longer - (un)load modules - read config files - execute s390 specials But it still does - initialize devices the same way as at boot time. Give the sysfs devpath as argument hwup /sys/devices/pci0000\:00/... - take down a device (hwdown) also with interface names as argument try 'hwdown eth0': it unbinds the device from the driver and so the interface will be unregistered. - hwup accepts interface names as argument, if the device was taken down with hwup before. In the example above 'hwup eth0' brings your interface back. - accepts the old hwup hardware descriptions. It is a trivial script that uses /sys/bus/*/drivers/*/{un,}bind, /sys/bus/*/devices/*/uevent and /sys/bus/*/drivers_probe. Have a look at it if you want to learn what sysfs can do for you. Forget 'rmmod' and 'modprobe -r', just unbind the device. -- ciao, christian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。 ----- End forwarded message ----- -- ciao, christian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
