/etc/conf.d/net
also seems to work fine with 1.8.6.2 just my 2 cents... _j_ Why do you do ifconfig up && sleep 2 in the iwconfig part in net.ethx? For the rest it looks good. Please attach unified diffs against net.eth0 from baselayout-1.8.6.4. How come the /etc/conf.d/net-file by default have world read? Is there any good answer why? If adding encryption keys and SSID, normal users shouldn't be abble just catting the file. latexer, does this bug still apply? Are these changes you would still like to see in net.eth0 (at least until we replace the networking subsystem ;-) This thing works fine for me, with 2 exceptions, iwconfig and ifconfig need a sleep between them... and if the machine has both interfaces with the same IP, disconnect or connect from the wire should be nearly transparent. For that, both interfaces must have the same GW configured. At the moment net.ethX takes only the last one. wireless configuration is in baselayout-1.11.x Not that I have any real excuse for letting this bug lapse for so long, but... it would have helped for net.ethX to be a patch instead of a file so I can see the changes at a glance. |
