Description Dennis Yang 2002-10-28 09:50:02 UTC
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.

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.
