Title:
IFUPDOWN - connections that are mapped should be locked to the mapping
device
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: network-manager
When running in managed=true mode, ifupdown will export configurations
of a mapping entry in /etc/network/interfaces without locking it to
the mapping device origin.
If a device exists with a mapping stanza then the mapping script may
select any of iface stanza "devices". The script is pretty much in
control of the naming of the device, so a $DEV-.* regex is wrong to
assume. A priori not even the link to a physical device is possible
without running the script, as the same mapping may be applicable to
multiple devices.
Probably the right thing to do is to hide all iface/mapping
"connections" that do not correspond to HAL-known devices. Then treat
a mapping like a DHCP connection, where a script is called on
activation (as in ifupdown) to select the iface stanza "connection"
for configuration.
