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.
Created attachment 90024 [details] Patch to /etc/network-scripts/network-functions for CIPE to work properly with ONBOOT="no" 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?

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.
