• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description armin 2005-06-11 04:17:19 UTC]

the content of net.eth0 net.lo files is swapped. maybe it's etc-update issue.
it was on 4 machines during upgrading baselayout to: 1.11.12-r4

users with one network card may not notice :)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge the new baselayout
2. look at the ._config files
Actual Results:  
network problems

Expected Results:  
normal upgrade

What do you mean "content is swapped"? /etc/init.d/net.ethX are only symlinks to
/etc/init.d/net.lo in the new baselayout versions! All configuration is done in
/etc/conf.d/net

* WARNING: You have older net.eth* files in ${ROOT}/etc/init.d/
* They need to be converted to symlinks to net.lo.  If you haven't
* made personal changes to those files, you can update with the
* following command:

* # /bin/ls /etc/init.d/net.eth* | xargs -n1 ln -sfvn net.lo"

Thanks for clarification:

I of course have different files, because I need arp entries during the start
of network devices. How can I execute a few lines for each eth* device with
/etc/conf.d/net or at least have something like 

  ARP_LINE="-s <IP> <MAC> -i eth1"

for each network device...

I have no idea what are you trying to achieve but if you are not able to do this
any more with new baselayout, then open a new bug and clarify in more detail

- what are you trying to achieve
- why is this not possible with current net init scripts
- and what enhancements are needed to get the required result. Patches are
welcome of course.

Thanks.

Armin, look at /etc/conf.d/net.example.  You'll want to read all the way through
it because there is stuff near the bottom that will help you out.  In
particular, you can run commands for devices in /etc/conf.d/net using the
preup/postup functions.
