2011-04-26change udhcpc support to busybox udhcpcWilliam Hubbs
This updates the udhcpc support to use busybox's udhcpc instead of the stand alone version. I would like to thank jackieku <kjackie@gmail.com> for assisting with this update. X-Gentoo-Bug: 205286 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205286
2011-04-19[oldnet] Bug #363959: Improve plug_timeout ifplugd/netplugd code.Robin H. Johnson
- Add support for a global plug_timeout setting to match the documentation. - Update the documentation to also show per-interface configuration. Signed-off-by: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org>
2011-04-15revert changes for bug #292894William Hubbs
This is being done because these dependency changes caused a regression. We will need to revisit the previously mentioned bug. X-Gentoo-Bug: 363693 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363693
2011-04-10bring up the loopback interface earlierWilliam Hubbs
For most situations, the loopback interface can depend on root instead of localmount, so this patch makes that happen. It also adds comments to the net.example files explaining when a user might want to change this and giving an example. I would like to thank Robin Johnson for the original patch and suggested examples. X-Gentoo-Bug: 292894 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292894 Signed-off-by: Robin H.

2011-04-09add fallback_routes support to network scriptsWilliam Hubbs
Add support for optional fallback_routes_* variables in the network scripts. This is similar to the fallback_route_* support in baselayout-1. However, if you do not have fallback_routes set for an interface but you do have routes set, that setting will be used, so you do not need this variable unless you want the fallback routes to be different from the primary routes.

2011-02-22net/ethtool: official interface for changing ethtool params (bug #195479)Robin H. Johnson
Implement a consistent interface for changing ethtool parameters, as suggested in bug 195479. All variable names are based on the long option to ethtool to set each group of parameters. Multiple entries seperated by newlines are permitted for variable values. Signed-off-by: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> X-Gentoo-Bug: 195479
2011-02-21net/vlan: update to use modern iproute2 interfaceRobin H. Johnson
This replaces the vlan setup code that previously used the old vconfig binary with a new implementation using the iproute2 interface. vconfig does not handle many of the newer setups. No automatic migration path is provided, as altering the configuration is non-trivial. Signed-off-by: Robin H.

2010-12-12Final documentation cleanup for updated bridge code.Robin H. Johnson
Specifically document how to handle the case of explicitly starting a bridge and then dynamically adding interfaces to it. brctl_br0='' bridge_add_eth0='br0'
2010-12-11Merge support for Routing Policy Database (RPDB)Robin H. Johnson
This can be used for multi-homed connections and other advanced routing in Linux. See the documentation links for more information about doing this in linux. The code was a originally pure addon into the conf.d/net files, written in mid-2004 for doing multi-homing between two internet connections. I have finally cleaned this up and integrated it. Thanks to Jonathan Kwan for giving me the original impetus to develop this for Gentoo (it was his dual internet connections...). In the intervening years, it was a example of postup/postdown in the net.example file, however that suffered from a few corner case issues. If you were using the code from net.example, please see the updated section 'Advanced Routing' on syntax, and drop your old function blocks. Additionally, note that the rules added are now directly saved for removal when the interface is taken down.
2010-12-11Revamp of bridging code.Robin H. Johnson
- Use sysfs to read bridge information from the system instead of parsing the brctl outputs. - Allow setting of all bridge configuration parameters using new sysfs methods, modelled after bonding configuration. Also works for per-port bridge interface parameters. - Document pre-starting an empty bridge for dynamic add. - Check for interface existence before adding to bridge. - Should fix bug #293046, #309185.
