Hello, in current version (openSUSE 10.2) of sysconfig we have following options for ifcfg: ## Type: list(static,dhcp,autoip,dhcp+autoip,6to4) ## Default: static # # With BOOTPROTO you can choose in which mode the interface will be set up: # - static: Set up static address(es) # - dhcp: Start a dhcp client on that interface. # - autoip: Automatic search for a free address and assign it statically. # - dhcp+autoip: Try dhcp and use autoip if dhcp fails. # - 6to4: Set up ipv6 over ipv4 tunnel (see man ifcfg-tunnel) # If you use dhcp or autoip you may additionally specify static address(es). My suggestion is to drop autoip and dhcp+autoip options and instead of it create AUTOIP option for /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp Because I think that no one uses only autoip option and dhcp+autoip is autoip action when dhcp-client after time out doesn't obtain an IP address. Does it make sense? Any comments?
