From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Q312461) Description of problem: ifconfig will show interrupt and base address of interfaces using ioctl SIOCGIFMAP (the line is "ioctl(skfd, SIOCGIFMAP, &ifr)"). When I load appletalk.o (insmod appletalk), the ioctl will fail and can't show the interrupt and base address. And after unload the appletalk.o, the ioctl returns to normal. Is there any way to fix the ioctl when I load appletalk.o? I have tried to use lan card rth8139, e100, eepro100 to test. And ioctl failed every time when I load appletalk.o. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.insmod appletalk 2.ifconfig Actual Results: After insmod appletalk.o the line "interrupt: xx Base address: 0xXXXX ..." disappear. Expected Results: ifconfig should show "interrupt: xx Base address: 0xXXXX ..." of each interface. Additional info:
Very strange, but reproduced here! Will look into it. Although it's more likely to be a kernel bug. :-) Read ya, Phil
I didn't manage to reproduce this bug with net-tools-1.60-39 and 2.6.9 kernel. Closing this bug as CURRENTRELEASE.
