That makes more sense. :) I've compared the Debian and Fedora ifupdown scripts and the Fedora one does have some extra code to allow it to work as an NM dispatcher. How- ever, the Fedora script just starts or stops all the configured pro- ducts, whereas the Debian script checks for the `ADDRFAM` environment variable which ifupdown sets to `inet` or `inet6` in order to start or stop only the products which match the address family. The 01-ifupdown dispatcher script that has been removed from NetworkManager makes sure to set this variable appropriately before calling the ifupdown script, and the dispatcher script I proposed earlier does likewise. I have run some tests with it and it works, so I'm going to go with that. In summary, using the Fedora script will mostly work, the script I wrote will work better, and there should be a new shorewall-init package along in the not too distant future with my script in it.
