Hi,
Attached please find the patch to make select_eth_device work with 2nd
NIC linked only and d FETCH assigned.
The differences:
1. If it's in live-premount instead of init-premount, "udevadm" commands
are not required.
2. If user uses "FETCH", "HTTPFS", or "FTPFS", select_eth_device should
not exit since network is also required to get the filesystem.squashfs
3. Files in "/sys/class/net/" maybe not be up so quick, so it's better
to use a while loop to wait for that.
4. Another case is, for example, if eth0 and eth1 are linked, but only
eth1 is able to get filesystem.squashfs, the original select_eth_device
will try eth0 only. It's better to provide an alternative way to allow
user to specify the device in boot parameter. Here in the patch
live-netdev=eth1, for example, can be used to make it.
My 2 cents.
Hope this helps.
Steven.
