 Posted: Sat Jun 05, 2004 10:21 pm Post subject: Different device names for wireless and wired |
 |
|
I have a D-Link USB wired LAN adapter and a PCMCIA wireless adapter. Both work fine but both use eth0 which means I can't have separate configurations for each, such as DHCP for wired and fixed for wireless.
I'm using modules for both and hotplug deals with it fine, is it possible to give them different names so I can use different init.d scripts, such as net.eth0/net.wlan0? |

I've emerged udev following the Gentoo HOWTO but I still seem to have devfsd running. I have baselayout 1.8.12 which was the default when I did a stage 3 install a few days ago.
Should I still see devfsd being run? If so, I wont worry but which is actually "in charge" of creating the /dev/ entries?

root 4726 0.0 0.1 1448 332 ? S< 15:30 0:00 udevd
root 6390 0.0 0.2 1520 476 pts/0 S 15:34 0:00 grep dev |

no, you should not. you should take devfs out of your kernel, or boot with the following kernel parameters:
devfs=nomount gentoo=nodevfs
