When bringing up a bonding interfaces, slaves might need specified ethtool settings (eg. disable gro). ethtool_offload_<slave> clauses get ignored since only the bond interface gets started from netifrc's perspective. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add ethtool_offload_eth0="gro off" clause to /etc/conf.d/net 2. add slaves_mybond="eth0 eth1" to /etc/conf.d/net 3. run /etc/init.d/net.mybond start Actual Results: gro does not get turned off on eth0 Expected Results: gro gets turned off on eth0 I've already written a patch that tentatively fixes this on 0.3.1. A similar solution should probably be added for bridging.
Created attachment 425172 [details, diff] Tentative fix for this issue. There is probably a better way to do it but that's about as far as my netifrc knowledge goes.
