Hi.
With latest 2.4.6-ac2, my lo interface setup looks like broken. Initscripts use /sbin/ip (it is a Mandrake Cooker box) to query the interface, and it only gets 'refused connections'. I think it worked with previous kernels.
This is an strace of the problem: werewolf:~# strace ip -o link ... socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, 0) = 3 bind(3, {sin_family=AF_NETLINK, {sa_family=16, sa_data="\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\353\215\5\10"}, 12) = 0 getsockname(3, {sin_family=AF_NETLINK, {sa_family=16, sa_data="\0\0\215\17\0\0\0\0\0\0\353\215\5\10"}, [12]) = 0 time(NULL) = 994752488 sendto(3, "\24\0\0\0\22\0\1\3\351\267J;\0\0\0\0\21\362\5\10", 20, 0, {sin_family=AF_NETLINK, {sa_family=16, sa_data="\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0`d\5\10"}, 12) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused) write(2, "Cannot send dump request: Connec"..., 45Cannot send dump request: Connection refused ) = 45 _exit(1) = ?
I saw that NETLINK support has changed a bit in ac series:
Netlink device emulation CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV This option will be removed soon. Any programs that want to use character special nodes like /dev/tap0 or /dev/route (all with major number 36) need this option, and need to be rewritten soon to use the real netlink socket. This is a backward compatibility option, choose Y for now.
I have activated it, but nothing changes. Any idea ?
Thanks.
