After a recent world update I have a new network interface in addition |
2 |
to 'lo' and the real network interface ('eth0', now named 'enp1s4'): |
3 |
|
4 |
# ifconfig dummy0 |
5 |
dummy0: flags=195<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,NOARP> mtu 1500 |
6 |
ether 2e:a2:4b:cb:f2:3f txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet) |
7 |
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) |
8 |
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 |
9 |
TX packets 51 bytes 19992 (19.5 KiB) |
10 |
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 |
11 |
|
12 |
# udevadm info -p /sys/class/net/dummy0 |
13 |
P: /devices/virtual/net/dummy0 |
14 |
E: DEVPATH=/devices/virtual/net/dummy0 |
15 |
E: IFINDEX=2 |
16 |
E: INTERFACE=dummy0 |
17 |
E: SUBSYSTEM=net |
18 |

I'm using sys-fs/udev-210 on an ~amd64 with the predictable network |
20 |
interface names. |
21 |
|
22 |
Does anybody know where this dummy0 interface comes from? |
23 |
Can I (or should I) disable or remove it? |
24 |

thanks, |
