RHBA-2013:1638 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
biosdevname bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated biosdevname packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The biosdevname packages contain a udev helper utility which provides an
optional convention for naming network interfaces; it assigns names to network
interfaces based on their physical location. The utility is disabled by default,
except for on a limited set of Dell PowerEdge, C Series and Precision
Workstation systems.
The biosdevname packages have been upgraded to upstream version 0.5.0, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
(BZ#947841)
This update also fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the addslot() function returned the same "dev->index_in_slot"
value for two or more interfaces. As a consequence, more than one network
interfaces could be named "renameN". This update restores the logic used to
obtain a port number that existed in biosdevname version 0.3.11 and, as a
result, all interfaces are named as expected. (BZ#1000386)
Users of biosdevname are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs and add these enhancements.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
