RHBA-2006:0395 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
hotplug bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated hotplug packages that fix various bugs are now available.
Description
The term "hotplugging" refers to the dynamic reconfiguration performed
after a device has been attached to a running system. This package
contains the application hotplug that is called by the kernel when various
devices are added; hotplug then loads the required modules for that device.
Under certain conditions, network interfaces were activated by hotplug
during system boot although they were configured not to be activated on
boot.
The hotplug src.rpm contained a firmware file which was not freely
redistributable.
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated hotplug packages, which resolve
these issues. To fix the unwanted network interface activation, it is also
necessary to upgrade the initscripts package to version 7.93.25.EL or later.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
