[PATCH 0/2] Re-open ethernet device on error

[rekado]

Hi,

this improves on my previous patch.  Before a new master_device port
is created the old port is deallocated to prevent a port leak.  None
of this happens when master_file (naming the device node) is
undefined.

This patch has been tested on Debian GNU/Hurd.  With this patch,
killing netdde no longer takes down pfinet.  Upon encountering a
transmission error, pfinet tries to re-open the ethernet device once
(handled by devnode) and will resend the buffer.


rekado (2):
  Try to re-open network device on transmission error
  Look up device file name on device_open
