Package: libmono-system2.0-cil Version: 2.0.1-1 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Guy T. Rice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, Nov 28, 2008 at 2:29 PM Subject: Bad hardware address length To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I tried switching to the Mono packages on "deb http://debian.meebey.net/pkg-mono ./", but the libopenmetaverse application I was trying to use would not connect after I switched, it would just barf up "EXCEPTION: Bad hardware address length". Switching back to the Mono packages in "testing" fixed the problem. After a quick scanning of the source and a Google for similar issues, I believe the problem is in ImplGetAllNetworkInterfaces in System.Net.NetworkInformation/NetworkInterface.cs, and relates to how the system handles interfaces for network "devices" that aren't actually devices, e.g. teql0, although I don't know which interface on my VPS is causing Mono to bomb, and being a VPS, I can't recompile the kernel to disable any of these interfaces to see. But in case it's useful, here's the list (via "ifconfig -a"): dummy0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 42:70:e6:ea:46:3a BROADCAST NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx inet addr:xx.xx.xx.xxx Bcast:xx.xx.xx.xxx Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: xxxx::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1187244 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:680473 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:236427175 (225.4 MiB) TX bytes:81092749 (77.3 MiB) Interrupt:28 gre0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-FF-00-65-74-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 NOARP MTU:1476 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) ip6tnl0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 NOARP MTU:1460 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) sit0 Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4 NOARP MTU:1480 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) teql0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) tunl0 Link encap:IPIP Tunnel HWaddr NOARP MTU:1480 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) ======== Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2008 21:17:02 +0100 From: Mirco Bauer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> So sounds like that is a regression from 1.9.1 to 2.0. Please file a bug report against debian and/or novell about this, so it can be fixed. -- Regards, Mirco 'meebey' Bauer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
