Hi,
I recently figured out how to use the /etc/modules.conf file to
shut off the messages from kerneld about not finding net-pf-[45]. Before
figuring out this bit, I found out that these messages arise when
'ifconfig' is used during the boot process to set up the network
intefaces. So :
1. Given the fact that I didnt ask for Appletalk or IPX support while
building my kernel, why does 'ifconfig' trigger this message?
2. On my RedHat 5.1 system, both net-pf-4 and net-pf-5 messages were
seen. But on my Debian 2.0 system, only the net-pf-5 message was
displayed. So this message depends on other stuff too. What?
3. Why does this message only show up at boot time? Subsequent 'ifconfig'
usage does not produce the message.
Thanks,
Kenneth
There is no such thing as luck. 'Luck' is nothing but an absence of bad luck.
