Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.8ubuntu8
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
The manpage of ifupdown states that "end-of-line comments are NOT supported,
comments must be on a line of their own." This is ok if it is no source of
errors, but it is:
I did not know what the manpage said there and wrote something like this
into /etc/network/interfaces (for wpasupplicant):
wpa-wep-key0 "gdzs125ghkq21" #original
I could not connect to the network though the password was correct. No error
message was given. When I removed the end-of-line comment everything worked
ok. It is counter-intuitive that something after the password-enclosing
quotation marks changes changes the value of the password.
Suggestion: either output an error message like "/etc/network/interfaces:80:
too many parameters for iface line" as happens when writing:
iface wlaniface inet dhcp #test eol comment
Or enable end-of-line comments, which would be handy. Thanks!!
