Package: ifupdown-extra
Version: 0.25
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The line in check_status_ethtool():
local LINK=$($ETHTOOL "$IFACE" 2>&1 | grep "Link detected" || :)
fails because ethtool has leading spaces.
A simple fix is to quote:
local LINK="$($ETHTOOL "$IFACE" 2>&1 | grep "Link detected" || :)"
