I hope I am not starting a new thread with this, I am attempting to reply to Nikolai Zhubr's last message from his thread: https://lists.opensuse.org/wicked-devel/2016-03/msg00004.html
I had started a similar thread a couple weeks before that here, which also did not get a response:
https://lists.opensuse.org/wicked-devel/2016-03/msg00000.html
The reason for replying again is to agree with the conclusion that "LINK_REQUIRED=no" should be the default in order to prevent this type of issue when there's no physical link.
Definitely not. Many, many things (in the kernel and elsewhere) starts after the carrier detection / cannot start without carrier, e.g. ipv6, bond + bridge protocols, any kind of link authentication (wpa), any autoconfiguration incl. dhcp, duplicate address detection [required (except in obsolete RFCs) and enabled also for ipv4] ... See also "man ifcfg", where it is described already until some extent and also https://github.com/openSUSE/wicked/blob/master/doc/FAQ.txt. Make sure, nanny use is enabled (<use-nanny>true</use-nanny> in the /etc/wicked/common.xml) -- it will set it up once a carrier is there.
As I explained in my previous post, I thought there would already be a solution to this issue that would require less manual configuration, such as setting LINK_REQUIRED=no in /etc/sysconfig/network/config but this did not work for me. I spent some time looking at the source code to see if I could find an option in the XML files that would work to change the default behavior, but I was unsuccessful.
Currently, there is none. Same as there is no possibility to set e.g. BOOTPROTO=dhcp by default. But... https://github.com/openSUSE/wicked/pull/657 adds it now to make some people that like to break rules happy :-) Gruesse / Regards, Marius Tomaschewski <mt@suse.de>, <mt@suse.com> -- SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Dilip Upmanyu, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg), Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: wicked-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: wicked-devel+owner@opensuse.org
