Description of problem:
Hi, the problem is pretty simple..
I upgraded from RH 7.1 to roswell beta 2 and then run the up2date to be
updated up to the minute - now my network stopped working..

All what I get right now when I'm trying /sbin/services network start - I
get "illegal seek". example:

 kde21]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
Shutting down interface eth0:                              [  OK  ]
Setting network parameters:                                [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface lo:                                  [  OK  ]
Cannot open netlink socket: Illegal seek

in /var/log/messaes it looks like this:

Sep 14 05:18:20 badboy network: Shutting down interface eth0:  succeeded
Sep 14 05:18:20 badboy sysctl: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
Sep 14 05:18:20 badboy sysctl: net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 0
Sep 14 05:18:20 badboy sysctl: kernel.sysrq = 1
Sep 14 05:18:20 badboy network: Setting network parameters:  succeeded
Sep 14 05:18:20 badboy ifup: Cannot open netlink socket: Invalid argument
Sep 14 05:18:20 badboy network: Bringing up interface lo:  succeeded

It sounds like you rebuilt your kernel without NETLINK and RTNETLINK support -
is that the case?

Comment 2 Hetz Ben Hamo 2001-12-08 11:46:28 UTC
Wow, I thought that this bug was closed long time ago. 
Yes, you were right and I handled that long time ago, but I thought I asked to 
close this bug.

Could you close it please?

Thanks,
Hetz
