Description Bill Nottingham 2011-03-05 02:00:01 UTC

Description of problem:

Network devices can have arbitrary names, and due to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ConsistentNetworkDeviceNaming, will have
different names in Fedora 15. Also, it's possible due to hardware changes, etc. that a box only has eth1, eth2, etc.

ppp-2.4.5/pppd/sys-linux.c:

...
char *
get_first_ethernet()
{
        return "eth0";
}
...
int
ether_to_eui64(eui64_t *p_eui64)
{
...
    strcpy(ifr.ifr_name, "eth0");
    if(ioctl(skfd, SIOCGIFHWADDR, &ifr) < 0)
    {
        close(skfd);
        warn("could not obtain hardware address for eth0");
...

Now, given that it does have fallback code for both of these functions if it fails, I'm not sure it drastically affects functionality at runtime. Filing for completeness.
