i.e. to ask for this tested regression-fix to go into 24.10 branch?
<enyc>
Kernel people say Userspace should not rely on device name but AIUI OpenWrt does not yet have a complex device detection abstraction so, per their pragmatic fix upstream, pull can be equally in OpenWrt.
<enyc>
One of the linked bugs suggests difficulty with Nanopi eth1 not detected at all and other related naming bugs, at least.
<robimarko>
There is no point in a new issue since this thing is not even in main
<robimarko>
The issue I see with this is that its yet another thing that is going to be carried forever
<enyc>
Oh; I got impression changed in kernel/upstream, hrrm.
<enyc>
maybe not
<enyc>
robimarko: I wonder what OpenWrt can/should do in terms of providing more abstraction and ability to rename interfaces on fly suitably
<robimarko>
That patch was sent upstream and last reply was in december 2024
<robimarko>
enyc: well, something obviously needs to be invented
<enyc>
robimarko: udev rules, right, usb device, call it -> this ... rp-pppoe-server devices, -> this not ppp0/ppp1 randomly, etc.
<robimarko>
Sadly, we dont have udev
<enyc>
robimarko: so; would it be pragmatic to have that patch in 24.10, and then work on whatever needed invention in main?
<enyc>
I distinctly get impression 24.10.0 causing quite a lot of issues for people alas, "wide berth", unusually high number of rcs, etc.
<enyc>
(albeit fixed other issues for me!).
<enyc>
robimarko: wow hrrm
<robimarko>
