Helper scripts for udev configuration in Chapter 7

[Reece Dunn]

Hi,

These are some scripts I have written to auto-detect what network card
and cd drive udev rules to use:

cat > detect-cd << "EOF"
#!/bin/bash
# Written by Reece H. Dunn <msclrhd at gmail.com>

for block in `find /sys/block -maxdepth 1 -name [sh]d* | sed 's@/sys@@'`; do
  udevtest ${block} > tmp/udev-info
  if [[ `cat /tmp/udev-info | grep -F "ID_TYPE=cd"` ]]; then
    MODEL=`cat /tmp/udev-info | grep -F "ID_MODEL" | sed
"s at .*ID_MODEL=\(.*\)'@\1@"`
    REVISION=`cat /tmp/udev-info | grep -F "ID_REVISION" | sed
"s at .*ID_REVISION=\(.*\)'@\1@"`

    echo "SUBSYSTEM==\"block\", ENV{ID_MODEL}==\"${MODEL}\",
ENV{ID_REVISION==\"${REVISION}\", SYMLINK+=\"cdrom dvd\"}"
  fi
  rm /tmp/udev-info
done
EOF

cat > detect-net << "EOF"
#!/bin/bash
# Written by Reece H. Dunn <msclrhd at gmail.com>

for net in `grep -H . /sys/class/net/*/address | sed -e
'/:00:00:00:00:00:00/d'`; do
  address=`echo $net | sed -e 's at .*address:\(.*\)@\1@'`
  name=`echo $net | sed -e 's at .*net/\(.*\)/address.*@\1@'`
  echo "ACTION==\"add\", SUBSYSTEM==\"net\",
SYSFS{address}==\"${address}\", NAME=\"${name}\""
done
EOF

These can then be used like this:

    ./detect-cd > /etc/udev/rules.d/82-cdrom.rules
    ./detect-net  > /etc/udev/rules.d/26-network.rules

The detect-cd script will only work properly with machines that only
have one CD, as it always uses the same symlink for the CD devices.

Are these useful to include in the LFS book?
