this has been fixed in initscripts-4.01-2. |
The /sbin/ifup script contains this line to detect whether an interface works: /sbin/ifconfig ${REALDEVICE} 2>&1 | grep -s "unknown interface" > /dev/null The current version of ifconfig doesn't return a line with "unknown interface" in it if an interface fails to initialise, so this isn't very helpful. ------- Email Received From "Ganesh Sittampalam,Computing Laboratory,83512,86765" <ganesh.sittampalam.ac.uk> 04/08/99 21:30 -------
