I think it's a good idea. Many drivers use the device name in the diagnostic messages. What's the point in seeing "wlan0: buffer overflow" if there is no way to find out from the log what that "wlan0" used to be? > + if (strncmp(newname, dev->name, IFNAMSIZ)) > + printk(KERN_INFO "%s renamed to %s\n", dev->name, > newname); I think KERN_INFO is the right level, but maybe KERN_DEBUG would be more readily accepted. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
