Hello list,
We have been running 4.9 and using freevrrpd 0.9.3, which worked great,
- the latest in the ports tree. We are switching
to 6.1 released and we now get the the following error from freevrrpd:
freevrrpd[6241]: cannot do ioctl, intertface is faulty: Device not
configured
This is a bogus message since the interface is configured up and running.
What changed in 6.1 to cause this?
The message comes from the following code in freevrrpd:
int vrrp_moncircuit_interface_status(int sd, char *if_name)
{
struct ifmediareq ifmr;
if (sd < 0) {
syslog(LOG_ERR, "socket descriptor must be != -1");
return -1;
}
bzero(&ifmr, sizeof(ifmr));
strncpy(ifmr.ifm_name, if_name, sizeof(ifmr.ifm_name));
if (ioctl(sd, SIOCGIFMEDIA, (caddr_t)&ifmr) < 0) {
if (errno == EINVAL) {
syslog(LOG_ERR, "your NIC doesn't support SIOCGIFMEDIA
ioctl: %s", strerror(errno));
return -3;
}
else
syslog(LOG_ERR, "cannot do ioctl, intertface is faulty: %s",
strerror(errno));
return -2;
}
if (ifmr.ifm_status & IFM_AVALID) {
if (ifmr.ifm_status & IFM_ACTIVE)
return 1;
else
return 0;
}
/* Interface has no carrier cable problem ? */
return 0;
}
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
