In kinfocenter, all three amd64 machines I have access to fail to
display network interface information about eth0 and eth1, while lo and
vmnet1 are shown. On i386, all interfaces are shown correctly. I
reported this bug upstream at
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125263. Strace shows eth0 is
detected, but the loop exits before the device is added to the list.
Helge Deller, the upstream maintainer, pinpoints the problem to
kdebase/kcontrol/nics/nic.cpp around line 169:
for (char* ptr = buf; ptr < buf + ifc.ifc_len; )
{
struct ifreq *ifr =(struct ifreq *) ptr;
int len = sizeof(struct sockaddr);
#ifdef HAVE_STRUCT_SOCKADDR_SA_LEN
if (ifr->ifr_addr.sa_len > len)
len = ifr->ifr_addr.sa_len; /* length > 16 */
#endif
ptr += sizeof(ifr->ifr_name) + len; /* for next one in buffer */
However, he doesn't have amd64 hardware and I would rather not fly
blind. Can someone confirm amd64 will fail at this location and suggest
a fix?
