Re: 2.6 kernel: Cannot make multiple dummy network interfaces

Oh, yes! Thank you. The one thing I didn't check - since dummy had no parameters in 2.4 kernels, it didn't occur to me to do a modinfo. I just did a modprobe dummy0 numdummies=99 and there we are - 99 devices. Thank you. I will pass this info on. I searched high and lo through user groups and mailing lists, but dummy is such a common word that it is difficult to narrow down the search.
Thank you again.

Perhaps you want to pass that numdummies aregument with some value.  The
default may be pretty low.
