Bug#1069048: All NICs tried with same retries and timeouts?
Hi,
If there's 10 NICs with a working dhcpd, only one will be configured
(the first one), so that the live OS can fetch the squashfs. The fact
that all 10 NICs will be configured with an IP address depends on what
you put in the live image. By default, I believe all will be configured
when the system is up, but *not* at the squashfs wget phase.
So, what I'm fixing with this patch, is just the pre-wget phase, so that
it tries all NICs. When the first one succeeds, the scripts don't
attempt to get DHCP from another NIC at this stage. That's not different
from the past behavior though.
I hope you understood and I explained well enough this time! :)
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
