Description Volkmar Glauche 2004-09-16 23:29:08 UTC

In /etc/conf.d/net there is no comment about the possibility to set a fallback configuration for an interface, if e.g. dhcp fails. I stumbled across the

ifconfig_fallback_NIC 

variable only when I worked my way through the init scripts themselves. A short mention in /etc/conf.d/net would make life a lot easier.

Reproducible: Always
