From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: IBM T30 with wire on eth0 and internal wireless ethernet on eth1. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 has ONBOOT=no. On boot udev calls hotplug which calls: /sbin/ifup /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 With no options and thus it comes up on boot when it should not. Also happens on RHEL 4 U2 on the same machine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hotplug-2004_09_23-7 udev-058-1.0.FC4.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the machine with stock install and internal wireless 2. Have ifcfg-eth1 with ONBOOT=no 3. netstat -nr Actual Results: eth1 is up and has the primary gateway. Expected Results: eth1 should be down. Additional info: If you edit /sbin/ifup and insert the line: sleep 5; Before: if [ "foo$2" = "fooboot" ] && [ "${ONBOOT}" = "no" -o "${ONBOOT}" = "NO" ] It prevents the problem.
Hotplug has always ignored ONBOOT - there is HOTPLUG for this.
(In reply to comment #1) > Hotplug has always ignored ONBOOT - there is HOTPLUG for this. I'm not sure what you mean...
ifup, as run by hotplug, has always ignored the ONBOOT setting. If you set 'HOTPLUG=no', it will not be brought up by hotplug.
