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.
