Subject: [gentoo-user] dummy0 network interface
Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2014 10:28:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5316EE29.4090106@st.com> (raw)

After a recent world update I have a new network interface in addition
to 'lo' and the real network interface ('eth0', now named 'enp1s4'):

# ifconfig dummy0
dummy0: flags=195<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,NOARP>  mtu 1500
        ether 2e:a2:4b:cb:f2:3f  txqueuelen 0  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 51  bytes 19992 (19.5 KiB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

# udevadm info -p /sys/class/net/dummy0
P: /devices/virtual/net/dummy0
E: DEVPATH=/devices/virtual/net/dummy0
E: IFINDEX=2
E: INTERFACE=dummy0
E: SUBSYSTEM=net

I'm using sys-fs/udev-210 on an ~amd64 with the predictable network
interface names.

Does anybody know where this dummy0 interface comes from?
Can I (or should I) disable or remove it?

thanks,

raffaele
