Package: netcfg
Version: 1.17
Severity: serious
Justification: Makes package unsuitable for release
Now that udev is enabled in d-i for kernel 2.6.14, regular interfaces get=20
recognized as being "hotpluggable".
However, as udev no longer uses hotplug, the current configuration set up=20
by netcfg no longer works for hotplugging interfaces.
Reason is that ifup is no longer called as (AFAICT)
ifup eth0=3Dhotplug
but rather
ifup --allow=3Dhotplug eth0
This results in the system having no external networking after the reboot.=
=20
I see this for example in a default vmware installation that has a=20
pcnet32 eth0 interface.
After some testing I've determined that the following configuration (in
/etc/network/interfaces) does work:
<snip>
mapping eth0
script grep
map eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
</snip>
NOTE: I'm not sure if this is the correct/optimal solution.
This new config will probably not work if package hotplug _is_ installed.=20
Question is if netcfg should also still support that situation.
Can a configuration be found that will work for both situations?
