Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.76-3
Severity: wishlist
If the default network cannot be initialized, /etc/init.d/network
could try loading the dummy network module. This would have been
useful to me when I pulled the network card out and various
services like wwwoffle failed to load.
Please change /usr/doc/sysvinit/examples/network to include
something like:
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST} \
|| { echo "Primary network failed, configuring dummy net instead!"
ifconfig dummy0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST} \
|| echo "Oh no, dummy network failed too!"
}
If you think that could cause problems to someone, you could put
it in comments and add a note telling people to uncomment it if
they want.

Since we no longer supply the /etc/init.d/network script and instead
populate /etc/network/interfaces and rely on /etc/init.d/networking to
bring interfaces up, we believe this bug is obsolete. Please let us
know if otherwise and we can reopen this bug.
