patch to fix ifcfg-rh nm-system-settings plugin which was incorrectly applying the IPADDR as the value of GATEWAY none

Description yrtimiD 2008-12-11 21:11:09 UTC
Created attachment 326673 [details]
eifcfg-ethX configs and log output

Description of problem:
  I have two ethernet interfaces, eth0 connected to cable modem and eth1 has static IP and connected to the second PC (to allow internet access to the second PC).
  
  NetworkManager selects wrong network interface to be default for routing and DNS.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
  NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.12.svn4326.fc10.i386
  dhcp-4.0.0-33.fc10.i386
  dhclient-4.0.0-33.fc10.i386


How reproducible:
  Starting NetworkManager with both interfaces connected.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.service NetworkManager restart (start)
  
Actual results:
  route -n returns:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     1      0        0 eth1
84.109.56.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.252.0   U     1      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         192.168.0.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth1

Expected results:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     1      0        0 eth1
84.109.56.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.252.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     1002   0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         84.109.56.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

Additional info:
In the attached file my ifcfg-ethX configs and output of NetworkManager to /var/log/messages

log has line:
NetworkManager: <info>  Policy set 'System eth1' (eth1) as default for routing and DNS
This looks wrong. is this "Policy" configurable? Why it selects eth1?

If I disable second interface (eth1) all works fine, and routes updated as expected.

Temporary fix for me: after NetworkManager started execute "ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0" - this fixes default gateway until eth1 connected or network is restarted.

Comment 5 Charles R. Anderson 2009-01-07 14:53:32 UTC
I'm seeing something similar.  eth1 in my case has no default gateway configured, but NM makes one up and selects it to use for the default.  I'll test the updated packages above.

NetworkManager-0.7.0-1.git20090102.fc10 does NOT fix the issue for me, but this patch does.

DNS part of this issue is still unresolved, but it is duplicate of bug 459961.

Comment 17 John Southworth 2009-04-20 21:25:05 UTC
I'm experiencing a similar problem using NetworkManager-openvpn. When I set the openvpn server to push the default route the client gives the following error
Apr 20 15:13:26 janos-t62 NetworkManager: <WARN>  nm_system_replace_default_ip4_route_vpn(): (tun0): failed to set IPv4 default route (pass #2): -3

I believe the last set of updates created the problem, because it worked fine before I applied them.

I currently have these packages installed:
NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0.99-5.git20090326.fc10.i386
NetworkManager-pptp-0.7.0.99-1.fc10.i386
NetworkManager-0.7.0.99-5.git20090326.fc10.i386
NetworkManager-openvpn-0.7.0.99-1.fc10.i386
NetworkManager-vpnc-0.7.0.99-1.fc10.i386
NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0.99-5.git20090326.fc10.i386
