Description Hannes Reinecke 2006-01-12 08:17:48 UTC

After installation hwup is not able to configure the network device.
It fails with the message:

'hwup error: could not get driver name'

After closer inspection, hwup contains at least two errors:

- If no 'DRIVER' is set in hwcfg, it tries to look for the appropriate driver name. Unfortunately only on BUS_0; if the driver is on a bus chain (ie BUS_N > 1) it should rather look for the _last_ bus entry.
- bind/unbind support will fail horribly on s/390 as we're using more than one channel for a device; we need to unbind _all_ of them for this to work.
Rather: we don't need bind/unbind support as we can activate devices individually.

This one is fixed since two weeks.
