Bug 114867

Description of problem:
I create my ISDN provider by name "brickxmp" with Dial on Demand.

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
ifcfg-eth0
ifcfg-eth1
ifcfg-brickxmp <-- ifcfg-ippp0 before the new program version (see Bug
91607)

After the system was rebooted:

netstat -r
Kernel IP Routentabelle
Ziel            Router    Genmask       Flags   MSS Fenster irtt Iface
172.16.39.0     *       255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0
172.16.38.0     *       255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 ippp0
172.16.37.0     *       255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth1
169.254.0.0     *       255.255.0.0     U         0 0          0 eth1
127.0.0.0       *       255.0.0.0       U         0 0          0 lo
default   172.16.39.81  0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eth0

The ifcfg-eth0 contains the parameter GATEWAY=172.16.39.81.
The default route is set over eth0, but should be set over ippp0.
Before this version of redhat-config-network the ISDN-interface name
was always ippp0. This mistake comes from the loop in the if-up script
and it was a random that I have found this mistake because my
providername is "brickxmp".

Next problem.
Now correct the default route with:
- ifdown brickxmp
- ifup brickxmp

netstat -r
Kernel IP Routentabelle
Ziel            Router    Genmask       Flags   MSS Fenster irtt Iface
172.16.39.0     *       255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0
172.16.38.0     *       255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 ippp0
172.16.37.0     *       255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth1
169.254.0.0     *       255.255.0.0     U         0 0          0 eth1
127.0.0.0       *       255.0.0.0       U         0 0          0 lo
default    172.16.38.1  0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 ippp0

After timeout ISDN the default route will not set new. 

Rename ifcfg-brickxmp into ifcfg-ippp0.

mv ifcfg-brickxmp ifcfg-ippp0

The ISDN default route will set now after timeout ISDN. It works
correct again. I do not found, where the mistake in the scripts is.

kisdndock is not in RHEL3, but I know, that this progamm can only work
with the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ipppx configfiles.
To show the name of ISDN providers, kisdndock use the option
PROVIDER=brickxmp in the ifcfg-ippp0.
With /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-brickxmp the kisdndock do
not goes in the o.k. status (color gray) on the KDE desktop.

The new convention for ISDN config filename is inconsequent.

Also I see an other problem. Today it is a requirement, that you can
define the order in which the interface comes up at boot time. All
interfaces should be able to set the default route, if it is necessary.

One order could be:
lo -> ethx -> trx -> ipppx -> pppx
This is an order were I think it is suggestive. Today your internet
provider is over ADSL mostly, but if not, the ppp0 interface do not
exist and ISDN is the default route. If you do not have a internet
provider the LAN default route will be set. I think this can be a way
for this problem.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-config-network-1.2.59-1, initscripts-7.31.9.EL-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.configure ISDN and use a providename begins with a-d
2.reboot the system
3.
    

Actual Results:  - ISDN routing do not work correct
- no default route after hangup  

Expected Results:  should be work correct
