Remove gentoo's net.* scripts

2013-08-13T21:33:41+00:00

It has been determined that it will be best for gentoo's net.* scripts to be in a separate package to allow independent development. This package will be called netifrc and maintained by Gentoo.

Rename shutdown_network setting to keep_network

2013-02-11T15:45:14+00:00

We were telling users that setting shutdown_network=YES would shut down the network interfaces during shutdown, but this was exactly the opposite of what we were doing. The default was YES, which was keeping the interfaces active. This keeps the default behavior, but renames the setting to keep_network which more accurately describes its function, and instructs users to set it to NO if they want the network interfaces to go down.

oldnet: add support for shutdown_network from newnet

2013-02-11T15:08:34+00:00

This setting, already in use in newnet, allows the user to control whether network interfaces are stopped when the system shuts down. By default, under newnet, they are not, so I am making oldnet have the same default. A side-affect of this is that in the default configuration this fixes bugs like the one below.

doc/net.example: Add warnings that changing MAC on bonds can break things.

2012-03-19T20:53:09+00:00

In most cases, changing the MAC on a bond manually is wrong. The bonding module will do it as needed to failover between interfaces, or to get multiple interfaces to correctly have the same MAC. We cannot however enforce it, as there are some corner cases where it is actually valid (hardware that requires specific MAC configuration, like some quad-port NICs).
