Hi all! I have an embedded Fedora/9 hybrid that I have been working
with for the last couple of weeks, and I have seen something strange. I
have a rather misbehaved wireless driver (discussion for another day) that gets
hosed by iwconfig commands, requiring the driver to be removed (rmmod) and
reinstalled (insmod). This system is a DHCP client. The weird thing
is, as soon as I re-insmod the driver module, /sbin/ifup gets called
automatically by the system. I can’t find any context or reason
that would cause this to be the case. Is this some kind of self-healing
strategy in RH7-9/Fedora?! The main problem is that if everything doesn’t happen
just right, I can end up with mulitple dhcpclients duking it out for the
interface. Thanks! Jeff |
