Hi all,

Is it possible on Linux to get the Linux network manager to =
automatically configure a KNI virtual network interface as soon as it =
comes up?
I haven=E2=80=99t been able to get Fedora to apply the configuration =
under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-veth0 file upon starting my =
DPDK application.

Executing ifup veth0 manually works but somehow the fedora network =
manager seems to have an issue to apply the if cfg config automatically.
In the system logs I can see something along the lines =E2=80=9Ckni =
doesn=E2=80=99t support ethtool=E2=80=9D. Is this related?

I also tried ifplugd but without success.

Many thanks for your help,

Olivier.
