[Bug 673504] Re: Pandaboard chooses a new IP address on each boot
Tim's fix is in the current kernel (2.6.35-1101.4). Marking as fix released, although I hope Floyd42's fix gets in mainstream. ** Changed in: linux-ti-omap4 (Ubuntu Natty) Status: Fix Committed = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673504 Title: Pandaboard chooses a new IP address on each boot -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Seems someone came up with another way to solving this. See: http://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/3441/ Actually, using a platform ID is a smart way to get a fixed MAC. In my opinion much better than using a random MAC as fall back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673504 Title: Pandaboard chooses a new IP address on each boot -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Wrote this test script to take the specified network port up and down in a loop. Ran it repeatedly on the proposed kernel without issue (script takes specified interface up down 10 times). dmesg output shows network interface stop/start for each iteration within the script and no errors.

[Bug 673504] Re: Pandaboard chooses a new IP address on each boot
SRU Justification: Impact: The smsc95xx driver generates a new random MAC address on every ifdown/up instead of only one during driver's init, and doesn't let the user to set up the mac address using known methods like ifconfig usb0 hw ether mac. Fix: Just move the init_mac_address function to bind instead of reset. Testcase: The interface should keep the same generated mac address even when giving ifdown/up, and the user should be able to set up the mac address using 'ifconfig usb0 hw ether mac. Patch is already upstream as f4e8ab7, and is tested already with a compiled kernel deb with the fix included. -- Pandaboard chooses a new IP address on each boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673504 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 673504] Re: Pandaboard chooses a new IP address on each boot
Thanks for pointing this out. One work-around for this issue was added to the omap4 kernel (see http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu- maverick.git;a=commit;h=10f38b455e75b85f72e98786e5518cf7b0324634). So you can force a MAC address at boot-time by adding the smsc95xx.macaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx parameter to the kernel command line. However, it does not prevent from using your patch that offers a smarter (and as you say more accepted) solution. -- Pandaboard chooses a new IP address on each boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673504 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 673504] Re: Pandaboard chooses a new IP address on each boot
There's a patch already that makes it possible to stick with only one mac address: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu- maverick.git;a=commitdiff;h=10f38b455e75b85f72e98786e5518cf7b0324634;hp=f62e143182cc123fdfdf9bb88952a938af7d86e8 If you set smsc95xx.macaddr at the kernel cmdline, it should work already with the current kernel. The problem I see here, that your patch helps solving, is that the mac address is regenerated on every ifdown/ifup when you don't explicit set it up at the kernel cmdline. This also makes it consistent with other drivers, and let people set the proper mac address with current known methods. As it's also upstream, I don't see a reason not to take it. Will generate a new kernel deb file with the patch included, so we can test it before sending the SRU. -- Pandaboard chooses a new IP address on each boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673504 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
