Description Christian Schmidt 2008-05-21 13:51:16 UTC 
As part of my setup here I am forcing up one ethernet interface connected to my laptop's docking station like this:

modules_eth0=( "!plug" )
config_eth0=( "192.168.245.1/24"
              "2a01:130:11:3::1/64" )

Now, if there's no link, the IPV6 address will stay "tentative" forever, and the iproute2_post_start() function in /lib/rc/net/iproute2.sh will loop forever, hanging during boot until I press ctrl-c.

I need the interface configured up in order to have the dhcp server running; it will reject starting if the interface is not up.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for telling.

Suggested iproute2.sh replacement

The check is changed so that interfaces with "NO-CARRIER" will always return false, otherwise the "tentative" status is evaluated.
