[SOLVED] Rebuilding master broke Mesa hm2_eth

My thought would be that since the build process is in your home folder, the process generated the files with root ownership therefore taking permissions from you and making them root.

Yeah, sudo in root folder has given me fits before... I have done clean installs because I messed up building software and it was much easier to just start again. Glad you go it going!

I had to make it using sudo and this casued some permissions issues which I resolved.

This can cause endless pain and suffering

I dont think there is ever a reason to build a RIP version of LinuxCNC as root
(other than the make setuid part)

It did that!

Yes, I don't understand why root had stolen my permissions which prevented me from running make in the first place. Anyway, its fixed now!

For some silly reason hm2_eth thinks it is a network administer, and plays with ipv6 settings and iptables, in a very non-robust manner.

Why?

I have a 7i92 and a 7i76E, no problems ever. If you have more than one network card active, you have to go into network setings, on the ipv4 screen click on "routes" there choose "use this connection for local something".
I have them both set like that and use wireless all the time.

If you do have a problem, then you have to run (as root) "iptables -F".

Why are the iptable rules not specified in the manpage?

Why does hm2_eth try to disable ipv6 on a kernel built without ipv6?

Why is a point-to-point route on an isolated network not sufficient?

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but to my way of thinking a driver should not be fiddling with network settings, nor be spawning a subprocess from C code to do so.
