Hello, I would like to know if there is a plan to include this in the next
-stable update?
http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blobdiff;h=2731570eba5b35a21c311dd587057c39805082f1;hp=dfb62998866ae2e298139164a85ec0757b7f3fc7;hb=9469d458b90bfb9117cbb488cfa645d94c3921b1;f=net/core/dev.c
No one has submitted it to the [email protected] mail address from what
I can see, so no, it is not in the queue. If you think otherwise,
please send it.
Without that patch, there is a race when registering network interfaces
and renaming it with udev rules, because initially the "address" in
sysfs doesn't contain useful data. See
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=114460338900002&r=1&w=2
Breaking the recommended way of assigning persistent network interface
names is, IMHO, a bug serious enough to be fixed in -stable.
