Description Nils Philippsen 2003-02-12 08:33:27 UTC
Description of problem:

When booting, my cipcb0 is always started regardless of the ONBOOT setting.
Obviously I only want the CIPE link to be up when needed ;-).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

initscripts-7.07-1
cipe-1.4.5-14

How reproducible:

Very

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot system with CIPE interface configured
    
Actual results:

run "ifconfig" to see cipcb0 interface up and running though ONBOOT="no"

Expected results:

cipcb0 is down after boot when ONBOOT="no"

Additional info:

Apparently, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions has the function
is_available() which checks for availability of an interface, loads the modules
in correct order, etc. This function also loads CIPE modules which apparently
bring up the interface.

This patch doesn't run "modprobe cipcb" when checking a cipe interface. This
probably should be extended to other virtual interface types that don't
correspond to real hardware (where module loading order has an impact).

I don't see this on my laptop. What does your
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-cipcb0 look like?

Comment 4 Nils Philippsen 2003-02-13 07:46:44 UTC
I upgraded yesterday evening and now it all works again (with the original
script). Maybe it was a not so ideal combination of package versions before.
