[PATCH] net.eth0 gateway6+bugfixes updated for baselayout 1.8.8
add ability to set ipv6 gateway with "gateway6" variable in /etc/conf.d/net and
also fixed a bug regarding the use of awk fields to parse inet6 route print
output.
Hello Stefano, This functionality is available as of baselayout-1.10 by using either the new-style ifconfig configuration or iproute2-style configuration. In both cases it is possible to specify arbitrary routes, for example with the routes_eth0 array or the iproute_eth0 array (depending on which method you choose) If you use these methods, it is unnecessary to set a gateway variable at all since you just specify the default gateway in the routes array. Hope that helps. Thanks for the bug. Eric, Thanks for the patches. Caught the inet6 awk fields problem a while ago in a previous release... |
When i try to setup my IPv6 home-lan, i see that gentoo seems to not allow static IPv6 configuration in the conf.d/net and init.d/net.eth0 (as a IPv6 lan client). so i do a very very simple modification to support it. it seems work good :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. i just add, under the gateway configuration, this little copy&pasted block :) if [ -n "${gateway6}" ] && [ "${gateway6%/*}" = "${IFACE}" ] then ebegin " Setting default gateway IPv6" # First delete any existing routes if it was setup by kernel .. /sbin/route -A inet6 del default dev ${gateway6%/*} &>/dev/null /sbin/route -A inet6 add default gw ${gateway6#*/} dev ${gateway6%/*} >/dev/null || { local error=$? ifconfig ${IFACE} down &>/dev/null eend ${error} "Failed to bring ${IFACE} up (in IPv6 mode)" stop return ${error} } eend 0 fi the only need is to set the gateway6 variable, just like the gateway variable :)
