• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Panard 2003-12-01 07:12:10 UTC]

in net init script: 
status_IFACE="$(ifconfig | gawk -v IFACE="${iface}" '$0 ~ /Link/ { if ($1 == 
IFACE) print "up" }')" 
 
but my ifconfig return somethink like: 
eth0      Lien encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0B:DB:02:9C:61   
..... 
 
(I'm french) 
 
So the status couldn't be "up": 
$ ifconfig | gawk -v IFACE="${iface}" '$0 ~ /Link/ { if ($1 == IFACE) print 
"up" }' 
> #nothing 
$ ifconfig | gawk -v IFACE="${iface}" '$0 ~ /Lien/ { if ($1 == IFACE) print 
"up" }' 
> up

A way to resolve this: 
status_IFACE="$(LANG='en' ifconfig | gawk -v IFACE="${iface}" '$0 ~ /Link/ { if ($1 == 
IFACE) print "up" }')"
