Package: guessnet
Version: 0.36-1
Severity: normal

Given is a site with a single Linux gateway which has a multitude of
ethernets attached. DHCP is not in use, and the MAC addresses of the
interface are not known (might change any time). A notebook needs to
be able to use any of these networks, so it should detect its network
regardless of which physical network it has been plugged in.

/e/n/i looks like this:

mapping eth0
        script /usr/sbin/guessnet-ifupdown
        map default: default
        map timeout: 3
        map verbose: true

iface net1 inet static
        address 10.11.10.59
        netmask 255.255.255.240
        broadcast 10.11.10.63
        gateway 10.11.10.62
        test peer address 10.11.10.62

iface net1 inet static
        address 10.12.10.59
        netmask 255.255.255.240
        broadcast 10.12.10.63
        gateway 10.12.10.62
        test peer address 10.12.10.62

This doesn't seem to work, net1 is always chosen.

It looks like the gateway is answering to arping 10.11.10.62 even if
the arping request comes in from the network 10.12.10.

I didn't debug in detail, but I surely hope that the replies can be
distinguished, so that guessnet can see which answer is the correct one.

I'll happily debug if you tell me what to do.

Greetings
Marc
