Description Felix Braun 2005-11-16 16:01:52 UTC

net-modules.d/ifconfig tries to translate iproute2-style arguments for
point-to-point links to ifconfig-style ("peer"->"pointopoint"). However, the
script actually replaces "peer" with "pointtopoint" (note the extra "t")
therefore, ends up being called with bogus arguments and falls flat on its face :-(

This is with baselayout-1.12.0_pre10-r1

The attached patch fixes the typo. In both the ifconfig and iproute2 modules.
With this patch everything is working again.
