So, you get this error only if you call your interface 'b'? Interesting. Right, and reading the manual, I see why. It's a problem with all of the ip
calls in initscripts...
You can abbreviate all of the arguments to the commands. In the link ${DEVICE}
up/down case, $DEVICE="b" -> "broadcast", which then requires a device. Similar
problems would happen with devices named a, u, d, m, n, t, or the words they
specify. By saying 'dev ${DEVICE}' it forces the $DEVICE to be used as the
device name, which is exactly what you want.
All 14 instances fixed in CVS, will be in 7.32-1. |
Description of problem: The ifdown script calls 'ip link set ${DEVICE} down'. This fails for some devices with a message saying it needs to know what dev is, needs to be 'ip link set dev ${DEVICE} down'. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-7.28-1 How reproducible: always for my built-in ethernet 'b', never for my built-in wireless 'w' Steps to Reproduce: 1. ifup b 2. ifdown b 3. Actual results: ifdown fails with error that it doesn't know what <dev> to change. Expected results: ifdown succeeds Additional info: --- /sbin/ifdown.~1~ 2003-06-23 23:13:19.000000000 -0500 +++ /sbin/ifdown 2003-09-10 12:36:58.000000000 -0500 @@ -100,7 +100,7 @@ fi if [ "${REALDEVICE}" = "${DEVICE}" ]; then - ip link set ${DEVICE} down + ip link set dev ${DEVICE} down fi [ "$retcode" = "0" ] && retcode=$?
