Bug 53155 – net-wireless/waproamd-0.6 should not use ifup/ifdown

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-06-06 12:45:49 UTC]

The current ebuild for net-wireless/waproamd-0.6 relies on /sbin/ifup and /sbin/ifdown to function correctly.

I will attach a patch which changes the default behaviour to using /etc/init.d/net.* {start,stop} instead.

Patch to use /etc/init.d/net.*

[Comment 2 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-06-06 13:46:16 UTC]

Another thing:

I had to add the following dependencies to /etc/init.d/waproamd:

depend() {
        use hotplug pcmcia
}

Seems logical since /etc/init.d/net.* has the same dependencies.

If the interface is configured to use dhcp, it does not start dhcpcd.
I think this is because the pcmcia deamon starts /etc/init.d/net.eth1 (in my case), so waproamd is told it already is running.
Please change severity to major, since it is blocking it from working correctly.

Fixed in net-wireless/waproamd-0.6-r1. Closing this bug as FIXED.
