From 380752f4e0726ecd5267fc3d86b87923714c6d07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Robin H. Johnson" Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:54:10 -0800 Subject: net: allow parameters to a single address config In the case of a single line of configuration, where the address has parameters, the parameters were being treated as seperate addresses. Eg: config_eth0="4321:0:1:2:3:4:567:89ab/64 nodad home preferred_lft 0" Also document usage of parameters in the net example, and note that multiple addresses on a single line cannot be mixed with parameters. Newlines are required to seperate the addresses. X-Gentoo-Bug: 398827 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398827 Signed-off-by: Robin H.
