I have pushed the following changes.
* If netboot, copy /tmp/net.* to /dev/.initramfs/. Initscripts of your
distribution or NetworkManager can read the files in this location to be
aware of prior configured interfaces. A distribution may choose to do
something with this information.
* If you specify kernel cmdline "rdcopystate", then all of /tmp/* is
copied into /dev/.initramfs/. This could sometimes be useful for
post-boot examination or debugging.
* net.<interface name>.lease is written containing the DHCP lease,
because dcbw asked for this for NetworkManager. Your own tools could
choose to do something with it or not.
TODO:
* We need something to write out a file like
/dev/.initramfs/net.eth0.static in the case of a static IP during
initrd. I have never used static IP with initrd before. Are there
multiple syntaxes to configure static IP? Others have touched this part
of the code.
