Source networking configuration.
Suse 8.1 seems to make this a directory for some reason…
So we just won’t run this command on Suse 8.1
if [ ! -d /etc/sysconfig/network -a -f /etc/sysconfig/network ]
then
. /etc/sysconfig/network
# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = “no” ] && exit 0 #<---- Line 24 that I commented out as $NETWORKING is null
fi
The line 27 fails because there is no Networking env.
I commented it out but now it just dies. Will spend a few more minutes attempting to fix their software.
cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 (Maipo)
Anyone have a fix for their code. I have a older beta version but I would like an officially supported version to hand to our customers.
Digi does not offer free support for their drivers so there is NO way to ask them to fix their driver for the latest Redhat Enterprise release “Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 (Maipo)” .
It would seem after adding a
NETWORKING=yes to the top of the init.d script AND
manually created a /etc/dgrp.backing.store file that did not exist (added a config line from another box, changed IP to make the IP invalid). The digi drivers started…
Waiting on one of our developers to confirm the drivers are working as expected…
Example
aa 123.123.123.123 16 auto default default default default never default
Solution:
Comment out line #27 or add NETWORK=yes (ensure that you have network connectivity before starting digi in init.d digi startup script.
Add a /etc/dgrp.backing.store file
Seems to be working now…
Not aware of any driver issues with RH EL7. Would you be able to provide a typescript of the driver compilation/installation on this host?
script
rpmbuild --rebuild 40002086_W.src.rpm
Change to directory /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/(arch):
cd /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/(arch)
Where (arch) represents your system architecture (for example: i386, x86_64, etc…).
Use rpm to install the new driver package by typing:
rpm -ivv dgrp-1-9.35(arch).rpm
Configure the Digi Ethernet unit(s) and load the module by typing the following:
dgrp_cfg_node init (ttyid) (ip_address) (number_of_ports)
The following example configures a 16 port PortServer with device names of ttya00 through ttya15:
dgrp_cfg_node init a 192.168.1.1 16
Close the typescript:
exit
Post the file called typescript residing in the directory where the script command was issued for futher analysis.
Digi does support their drivers and will waive any Technical Support fees if there is a bug found and validated.
I did try and I got this

Sorry dear Valued Digi Support, I don’t have time to assist with your software fixes. I would have when it happened as I tried to do. but that has passed now.

If you can provide the requested typescript, I can try to validate and issue a bug report.
I currently cannot replicate this on my EL7 host (kernel: 3.10.0-123.6.3.el7.x86_64).
I was able to see the “line 24: [: =: unary operator expected” message, however it did not prevent the driver daemon from starting (i.e. non-destructive error):
/etc/init.d/dgrp_daemon restart
/etc/init.d/dgrp_daemon: line 24: [: =: unary operator expected
/etc/init.d/dgrp_daemon: line 24: [: =: unary operator expected
Stopping DGRP daemons:
Daemon for id “a” (192.168.1.1): stopped.
/etc/init.d/dgrp_daemon: line 24: [: =: unary operator expected
Starting DGRP daemons:
Daemon for id “a” (192.168.1.1): started.
I have submitted a bug report.
Attached is a copy of the install Log as requested… As you can see there is an error on Red Hat 7 using the 40002086_W.src.rpm install base. If that is not the right base, that could be. But since there was no Red Hat 7.0 7.1 7.2 in the pull down just “Linux” that is the one I downloaded…
Thanks,
Here is the URL with the Text in it for the install.

After a reboot the digi drivers FAILED to start…
(hence the problem is not minor.)
[root@bag2 init.d]# ps -ef | grep -i dg
root 12964 12919 0 10:05 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i dg
[root@bag2 init.d]# service dgrp_daemon status
/etc/init.d/dgrp_daemon: line 24: [: =: unary operator expected
[root@bag2 init.d]# ps -ef | grep -i dgrp
root 12976 12919 0 10:05 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i dgrp
[root@bag2 init.d]#
Attempting to start it manually:
[root@bag2 init.d]# service dgrp_daemon start
/etc/init.d/dgrp_daemon: line 24: [: =: unary operator expected
[root@bag2 init.d]# ps -ef | grep -i dgrp
root 13013 12919 0 10:09 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i dgrp
[root@bag2 init.d]#
I’m not able to replicate this using the same kernel version and driver. Can you show the contents of /etc/dgrp.baking.store? Also, can you provide the results of “ps -ef | grep drpd”?
Any thoughts on how I might be able to replicate this?
There is a beta driver build to address this located at:
ftp://ftp1.digi.com/support/beta/linux/dgrp
Worked with Digi on this, This worked great on Red Hat 7.1 . Thanks for your efforts… Tested from source files. AOK!
