Re: Move an interface to init_ne

Renato,

Thanks a lot!

I have an additional question if I may on network namespaces.

I have a machine with two different nics, with two different drivers,
r8169 and 8139too (both RealTek nics).
I have eth0 on the  initial network namespace and
no interface on namespace1. (8139too module is not loaded).

But when I run "modprobe 8139too" on namespace1, a device named "eth1"
is created on the initial network namespace and not on namesapce1.
I expected that in such a case, a device named "eth0" will be created
on namespace1, since it was called from namespace1. Or maybe modprobe
does
not consider the namespace from which it was called ?

regards,
DS
