Further, "rcnetwork status" and "ifstatus eth0" report extended status
that could be:
eth0 is up
eth0 is up, but ipv6 duplicate address check failed
eth0 is up, but has tentative ipv6 address
eth0 is not up
eth0 is dormant
eth0 has no carrier
The fix also adds two variables that can be used to tune the behaviour
(for problematic NICs or to disable the check) by adding them to the
per interface config files -- ifcfg-eth0 (of ifcfg-bond0, ...):
## Type: integer
## Default: 0
#
# The number of seconds to wait for link to become useable / ready.
# Default is 0, causing to not wait for a ready link (0), because link
# detection can't be enabled in all cases (e.g. bridges without ports).
# Please use per interface settings to enable it.
#
LINK_READY_WAIT=0
## Type: integer
## Default: ""
#
# The number of seconds to wait for the end of IPv6 duplicate address
# detection in ifup.
# Default is to use WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES/2 seconds in normal ifup runs.
# When ifup is called by /etc/init.d/network at boot time, the check
# is done, but /etc/init.d/network waits WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES seconds
# for all interfaces togerther. Set to 0 to disable it.
#
IPV6_DAD_WAIT=""
