Hello. I recently updated both my PC kernel and my FR software. I'm using kernel 2.6.27 on my pc, and the last FDOM distribution. When i connect the usb cable the connection get the name eth1 instead of the old usb0. This makes all the scripts and automatisms useless, and, more, is unpredictable, because sometimes i don't have my eth0 running or i have 2 network interfaces and the name would change. I made some researchs, coming to understand that it's matter of a strange "local assignment bit". >From the kernel configuration:
config USB_NET_CDCETHER tristate "CDC Ethernet support (smart devices such as cable modems)" depends on USB_USBNET [......] This driver creates an interface named "ethX", where X depends on what other networking devices you have in use. However, if the IEEE 802 "local assignment" bit is set in the address, a "usbX" name is used instead. Well, anybody knows exactly what this bit is and where can i set it? Thank you to whoever can answer.. roby
