thanks for hotplug-2004_01_05-1 in development
AgentName values on this system:
dasd firmware ieee1394 input net pci scsi tape usb
but there is no FIRMWARE_DIR after the update
---------
$ grep FIRMWARE_DIR /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent
FIRMWARE_DIR=/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
if [ -f $FIRMWARE_DIR/$FIRMWARE ]; then
cp $FIRMWARE_DIR/$FIRMWARE $SYSFS/$DEVPATH/data
---------
could you add this directory?
# mkdir -p /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
thanks
*** Bug 122807 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 126652 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The problem I described in Bug 122807 which was marked as duplicate of this bug, has been resolved in latest rawhide. The ipw2100 driver now works fine during init. Fixed in initscripts-7.70-1. Please change bug 122807 so that it is no longer a duplicate of this one. Bug 122807 is *not* fixed in initscripts-7.70-1. I have an x86_64 system with a PCI prism54 device running FC2 on which I have installed initscripts-7.80-1 and mkinitrd-4.1.11-1 from FC3 test2 and the behavior is unchanged. Specifically, the network card cannot start at boot because without hotplug support firmware cannot be loaded. Using ifup later brings it up with no problems and can be used as a work around. Still, this should be fixed because in many cases it is quite cumbersome. For example, I run DNS and DHCP (the machine is essentially an 802.11g access point) so these services must be restarted as well. The submitter said 122807 worked for him... Yes, bug 122807 has worked for me ever since (I'm now at initscripts-7.86-1). I'm running FC3t2 up2date up to 2004/10/02. |
