Reporting a Network Driver Bug: Bash Scripting

Posted in Free and Open Source Software, Ubuntu on June 16th, 2011 by doctormo

Heya,

Today I needed to report a whole bunch of information about my ethernet device to the nice people who develop the driver. They have a whole (long) list of information they’d like to have, but no script to help you collect it up.

So, to aid this, I built one using some super bash-fu:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/628120/

If you’re interested in bash, you should get a kick out of some of the hoops it has to go through to collect various bits of info. Especially useful is the grabbing of the end of the dmesg log file after running modprobe.

Thoughts?
