Description Bill Nottingham 2011-03-05 02:54:19 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.

In the sockets code:

PBoolean PEthSocket::Connect(const PString & interfaceName)
...
  if (strncmp("eth", interfaceName, 3) == 0)
    medium = Medium802_3;
  else if (strncmp("lo", interfaceName, 2) == 0)
    medium = MediumLoop;
  else if (strncmp("sl", interfaceName, 2) == 0) {
    medium = MediumWan;
    fakeMacHeader = PTrue;
  }
  else if (strncmp("ppp", interfaceName, 3) == 0) {
    medium = MediumWan;
    fakeMacHeader = PTrue;
  }
  else if (strncmp("ippp", interfaceName, 4) == 0) {
    medium = MediumWan;
    ipppInterface = PTrue;
  }
  else {
...
