Hi all -
First off, Season's Greetings to all. Things have been getting more and more
quiet on this list lately. Hope there's still some life around!
I am running a gentoo 64-bit kernel with suspend extensions: 2.6.18-suspend2,
and have been for a month or more, with no problems.
Earlier today, I wanted to bluetooth some pics from my phone, when I realised
that since my upgrade bluetooth wasn't working. I eventually traced the
problem to the 'rfcomm' module not running. I did a 'modprobe rfcomm' and all
seemed well. To make it more permanent, I also added it to
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
and, to test properly, rebooted the machine.
On next boot, none of my network interfaces worked. I soon noticed that
a "new" eth0 had appeared, and my "old" eth0 was now mysteriously eth1. Also,
a "new" eth2 had appeared, and my old wlan0 (ndiswrapper-based) seemed gone.
The MAC address of the new eth0 was bizarre:
4A-3F-02-00-4A-3F-02-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
Also, eth2 appeared as if it were a wireless interface - but I'm guess it is
the bluetooth device since eth2 doesn't connect to anything:
#iwlist eth2 scan
eth2 Interface doesn't support scanning : No such device
Can anyone help / suggest anything?! I'm up and running with a wired
connection on eth1, but would like to have my wireless connection back!
Here is my ifconfig:
