[Please Cc me, I am not subscribed to netdev.] Can I rely on the presence of the $DEVPATH/driver symlink (e.g. /sys/class/net/eth0/driver) to check if a network interface is a "real" device insteaf of a VLAN or a bridge?
----- Forwarded message from Marco d'Itri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: VLAN subinterfaces From: Marco d'Itri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I wrote a script to handle persistent rules for network interfaces, but I noticed that VLAN subinterfaces have the same MAC address of the parent interface and I could not find in sysfs anything evident which I could use in a rule. The only difference I noticed is that the VLAN subinterfaces lack the device and drivers symlinks. This problem affects anybody using VLANs, is there a good solution? -- ciao, Marco ----- End forwarded message ----- ----- Forwarded message from Marco d'Itri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: VLAN subinterfaces From: Marco d'Itri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On Apr 23, Marco d'Itri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I wrote a script to handle persistent rules for network interfaces, but > I noticed that VLAN subinterfaces have the same MAC address of the > parent interface and I could not find in sysfs anything evident which I > could use in a rule.

Another user (Debian bug #365248) reported that this applies to bridges too. Is adding DRIVER=="?*" to the rules the correct workaround? -- ciao, Marco ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
