[Bug 725523] New: File /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 contains bad option
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725523 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725523#c0 Summary: File /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 contains bad option Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Beta 1 Platform: All OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Live Medium AssignedTo: coolo@suse.com ReportedBy: Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1 The configuration option for a wired network (file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0) contains the line "STARTMODE='onboot'". Although this is OK for most situations, it fails in the case of someone wanting to use the ifup method to configure a wireless connection using the live media. Changing the line to read "STARTMODE='ifplugd'" will still work for anyone wanting to use a wired connection, but still allow the wireless to be configured and used with ifup. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Live medium 2. Unplug wired network 3. Actual Results: Wireless network would not work. Expected Results: I should be able to configure the wireless network. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm also not sure if I understand the report correctly. STARTMODE=onboot causes /etc/init.d/network to wait for the interface; when it is missed or dhcp will never get a lease there, ... STARTMODE=ifplugd will power up interfaces where it detected a carrier. It can be multiple interfaces with different IFPLUGD_PRIORITY != 0 to prefer e.g. the wired over the wireless interface. STARTMODE=hotplug will configure the interface when available. AFAIR, in the past yast2-network were proposing configs using ifplugd when there were wireless + wired (and no bridge involved, ...) with priorities. But I've no idea who creates the configuration on live media: yast2-network, yast2-live-installer or scripts on kiwi-config-openSUSE? I _guess_, this is some default in kiwi-config-openSUSE... Stephan, would you take a look at this issue? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The OP was trying to make a wireless connection and the "onboot" messed up the attempt. I was unable to find that thread this morning and I cannot confirm my original conclusion that this parameter needed to be changed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
