Bug 197788 – sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.0_rc6 fails to use fallback configuration

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Gabriel Devenyi 2007-11-01 15:40:38 UTC]

Configuration is as such:
config_eth0="dhcp"
dhcp_eth0="nontp"

fallback_eth0="arping"
gateways_eth0="130.113.54.5,,130.113.54.64"
config_130113054005="130.113.54.64 netmask 255.255.0.0"
routes_130113054005="default via 130.113.54.5"
dns_servers_130113054005="130.113.128.1 130.113.64.1"
dns_domain_130113054005="eng.mcmaster.ca"

The arping configuration works on its own ie using config_eth0="arping"
Starting a config using the above method results in:

baselayout does not attempt to use the fallback configuration

Created attachment 134926 [details, diff]
fallback.patch

This should fix it - let me know.

That fixed it, now dhcp fails and falls back to arping an address. Thanks.

Fixed in our svn repo.
