[Linux-decnet-user] DECnet and ifconfig

[Stanley F. Q. <sys...@st...>]

After starting DECnet, doing an "ifconfig" (/sbin/ifconfig) returns:

: error fetching interface information: Device not found

Doing an "ifconfig eth0" returns the normal information.

I've done the following:

- Installed on RH 7.2, RH 7.3, and RH 9 via RPM's.
- Built DECnet from the latest sources
- Installed a separate interface (eth1) and configured DECnet to
  use that interface

This wouldn't seem to be such a problem, but the server I'm using is 
running other services -- and a "service named restart" causes named 
to only run against lo, not eth0.  Other services behave similarly.

This also happens with SuSE, kernel 2.4.21-99-default.

Any suggestions?
