lssf question

[Dan Am]

Hello,
we tried to query a device "/dev/lan0" with lssf. Return was "Don't kknow how to handle driver 'maclan' despite that driver being registered with the kernel. The device file is not associated with any hardware. Any clues where that messages comes from ?

Regards
Dan

From my 11i 700 workstation:
tsws1(209)root# lssf /dev/lan0
btlan card instance 0 ieee at address 8/0/20/0 /dev/lan0

I got the same result as you on my 11.0 800 server.

For what it's worth,
Pete

Hi Dan,

What do you get if, from /dev, you do
lssf lan0?

Rgds,
Jeff

what does ls -l on /dev/lan0 return and what does lsdev | grep lan return? Sounds like you had something configured once, but since removed, or possibly the system was built from another machine?

I have the maclan driver in my kernel, but no devices associated with it.

Further qualification:

from a 10.20 700 workstation:
opws2(206)root# lssf /dev/lan0
lan2 card instance 0 ieee at address 2/0/2 /dev/lan0

from a 11.0 700 workstation:
opws1(280)root# lssf /dev/lan0
lssf: Don't know how to handle driver "maclan"

from a 11.11 700 workstation:
tsws1(209)root# lssf /dev/lan0
btlan card instance 0 ieee at address 8/0/20/0 /dev/lan0

Thanks for your replies:

ll /dev/lan0 returns
crw------- 1 root root 75 0x000000 (date) lan0

We deleted the file and recreated using insf -e and it got itself the driver 67 which is btlan3 and lssf now works ok. Still, where does that come from ?

This was something referencing maclan:
