Product: initscripts
Component: initscripts
Summary: Initscripts break boot-time ppp interfaces
Version: 7.06-4mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When someone has an ifup-ppp configured (so we can have it on boot and load a
firewall, etc), upgrading from 9.0 to 9.1 beta breaks the configuration.
One problem is the initscripts assume every interface is an ethernet card, and
tries to use ifplugd. This is wrong, since there are PPP, PPPoE, PPPoATM, x.25,
Frame Relay, and other interfaces as well. ifplugd should be only used for eth*
interfaces.
The other problem is that the scripts use ip -o link ls dev $1, and that breaks
the above non-eth interfaces, since point-to-point links can hang and restart
using another device (ie, ppp0 dies, it respawns as ppp1).
Here are the patches that fix the problems.
