Bug 116187

Description of problem:
I recently upgraded my kernel.  when I rebooted after this my
ifcfg-eth* devices failed to boot.  ETH0 initialized, but then the
kernel attempted to initialize the ETH0.ORIG causing neither interface
to initialize.  *ORIG files should not be treated as interface config
files.

Starting on line 54 of the /etc/init.d/network file I can see where
the interface variable is created by doing an ls on the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory and then doing a grep -v to
remove undesirable files (rpmsave, rpmnew, etc...)  This grep -v
should also include 'ORIG'.

Here is the section of code I am referring to:

--Start clip--
interfaces=`ls ifcfg* | LANG=C egrep -v
'(ifcfg-lo|:|rpmsave|rpmorig|rpmnew)' | \
            LANG=C egrep -v '(~|\.bak)$' | \
            LANG=C egrep 'ifcfg-[A-Za-z0-9\._-]+$' | \
            sed 's/^ifcfg-//g' |
            sed 's/[0-9]/ &/' | LANG=C sort -k 1,1 -k 2n | sed 's/ //'`
--End clip--

A simple change is all that is required to resolve this issue:

--Start clip--
interfaces=`ls ifcfg* | LANG=C egrep -v
'(ifcfg-lo|:|rpmsave|rpmorig|rpmnew|ORIG)' | \
            LANG=C egrep -v '(~|\.bak)$' | \
            LANG=C egrep 'ifcfg-[A-Za-z0-9\._-]+$' | \
            sed 's/^ifcfg-//g' |
            sed 's/[0-9]/ &/' | LANG=C sort -k 1,1 -k 2n | sed 's/ //'`
--End clip--

I tested it on my system and it works.

Thanks for looking into this.
