Zelkin" X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL40 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello ! I am running CURRENT from 27 jul. So, I have PCI PnP Ethernet Adaptor and wrote in kernel config: > controller pnp0 > device ed0 at isa? disable port 0x280 irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 As usually this string included ethernet driver code into kernel and my card was found automaticly. But this time I pointed my eyes to dmesg output and found interesting thing: > ed0: irq 12 at device 9.0 on pci0 > ed0: address 00:00:21:c7:5b:a7, type NE2000 (16 bit) > devclass_alloc_unit: ed0 already exists, using next available unit number > isa0: on motherboard > ed1: not probed (disabled) So, what should do kernel when I insert new ISA ethernet into my machine and enable ed0 ? Logic tells that ed0 will change its name to ed1, and new card will stay ed0. Why my pnp ethernet was found as ed0 but not ed1 ? So, I would ask -- is this feature or bug ? If I am temporary changing my network devices configuration can I be sure that ethernet names will not be automaticly changed ? -- Sincerely Yours, | phantom@crimea.edu (primary) Alexey Zelkin | phantom@scorpion.crimea.ua (home) | ICQ: #6196584, FIDO: 2:460/12.26 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
