Description
Need Real Name
2010-07-12 20:44:03 UTC
Does it write: PREFIX=xx ? That's the preferred form these days instead of subnet masks, even when NM isn't being used. Yes, but system-config-network-tui doesn't understand that. Well, NM prefers PREFIX over NETMASK for static IP in ifcfg files. Initscripts also uses PREFIX with 'ip' command. (except in aliases, where NETMASK is used with ifconfig.) /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt doesn't mention PREFIX. That'd a deficiency of the documentation and should be updated. So, this report is an issue of system-config-network-tui, that doesn't read/write PREFIX. Created attachment 433426 [details]
system-config-network-tui read/write PREFIX of ifcfg files
The patch reads and writes PREFIX from/to ifcfg file.
When both PREFIX and NETMASK exists, PREFIX takes precedence as it's done such by initscripts and NM a long time already.
Thanks for the patch.
