After the upgrade to sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.3 the net.lo script breaks ISDN usability due to two issues: 1. The new net.lo script must depend on isdn4linux otherwise isdn4linux will be started _after_ net.ippp0 (which is net.lo, of course) and therefore net.lo does not find /dev/ippp0 2. If an ippp* interface is started the ipppd is not started but it is required to be able to connect to the internet. Here the config for ippp0: --- /etc/conf.d/net --- [...] ifconfig_ippp0=( "192.169.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" ) routes_ippp0=( "default gw 192.169.0.1" ) --- Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.3 2. etc-update 3. [Update net-symlinks and net-config] 4. reboot 5. isdnctrl dial ippp0 Actual Results: Getting the messages: 1. at boot in net.ippp0: * ippp0 does not exist 2. ippp0: Resource temporarily unavailable and therefore ISDN and connecting to the internet does not work. Expected Results: ISDN should also be covered by the new net scripts since it is still used by some more people. # emerge info Portage 2.0.51-r2 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.4.2, glibc-2.3.4.20041006-r0, 2.6.8-ck8 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.8-ck8 i686 AMD Duron(tm) Gentoo Base System version 1.6.3 distcc 2.18 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r1 Headers: sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.19,sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.22 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse -ftracer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse -ftracer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs candy ccache distlocks sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/gentoo/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://gentoo.osuosl.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowex X aalib acl acpi acpi4linux alsa apache2 apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts blender-game bonobo bootsplash bzlib cdparanoia cdr clanVoice crypt cups dba dedicated dga divx4linux doc dvd encode escreen f77 fbcon foomaticdb freetype gd gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imagemagick imlib java jpeg libg++ libwww mad mailwrapper mbox mikmod mmx mmx2 motif mpeg mysql ncurses net nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python quicktime radeon readline rtc ruby samba sdl session shared silverxp slang sockets spell spl sse ssl stencil-buffer svga tcltk tcpd tetex tokenizer truetype usb videos wxwindows x86 xchattext xfs xml xml2 xmms xpm xprint xsl xv zlib"
Same with 1.11.4
This should be fixed in baselayout-1.11.5
re-open if it doesnt !
Unfortunately I have to tell you, that it is NOT fixed: If you read my initial comment carefully, you will get to know that for a successful connection try an ippp* interface needs /sbin/ipppd from the isdn4k-utils package to be started. This was done by the old net script. So I guess it should also be done by the new script now.
Created attachment 43284 [details] ipppd module for net-scripts OK - I've been confused here. My fault - I don't use isdn and didn't realise that isdn4k-utils comes with it's own net.ippp0 script which uses our old net config Anyway, I've attached an ipppd module for you to test - it needs to go in /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d Then simply just your /etc/conf.d/net to instruct ippp0 to use the isdn module ifconfig_ippp0=( "isdn" "192.169.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" ) ipppd_ippp0="defaultroute" Could you test it and get back please?
The module has to be called ipppd Sorry for missing that bit out :/
The module works great for me. I'm currently online with this script without the need to start anything manually ;) I didn't know that isdn4k-utils has its own net.ippp0 script. I just deleted all net.* scripts and linked all interface scripts to net.lo . One question: Why can't I load the ipppd module like this: modules_ippp0=( "isdn" ) According to net.example this is the default way, isn't it?
The modules=( ... ) line simply loads the modules - it specifies that they *must* be loaded - but it's upto each module how they actually start. By default, if the required package is installed then it loads. In this case, if you have isdn4k-utils installed, then the ipppd (isdn) module gets loaded. If it's specified, but not installed then you get an error saying "Please install isdn4kutils" I've changed the default behaviour to start automatically if the interface name starts ippp or isdn followed by a number - otherwise the interface won't start. Thanks for the idea though - I've changed bridge and tuntap modules to work in a similar way. This is now in CVS, and will be in baselayout-1.11.6
Just upgraded to baselayout-1.11.6-r1. Works fine for me. Closing bug.
