Bug 73641 – /etc/init.d/net.eth0 script broken baselayout-1.11.7-r2

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kathy Wills 2004-12-07 02:55:39 UTC]

Updated to baselayout-1.11.7-r2, replaced /etc/init.d/net.eth0 with the new script. The gateway defined in /etc/conf.d/net does not get applied.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.reboot
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Eht0 is set up except for no access to the internet. Have to do "route add
default gw 192.168.0.1" in order to have internet access.

Expected Results:  
The script should have worked.

attach your /etc/conf.d/net file and re-open

route's work fine on my machines ... in fact, i list multiple routes on some and all are added correctly

seems like the entry

gateway="eth0/x.x.x.x"

in /etc/conf.d/net is not used anymore.

I have this fixed in CVS - will be in baselayout-1.11.8

The old gateway variable isn't documented anymore but should be supported still
For the time being, you can replace that with the following in /etc/conf.d/net which will work

routes_eth0="default gw x.x.x.x"

I used the information in comment #4 and it worked. Thanks Roy.
