similar to: ipconfig fails when an interface is flapping?

The current "ipconfig -i any" option waits for all interfaces, however a feature that I would really like is to continue after the first interface that gets a valid configuration. This is useful in the scenario where an (diskless) host with 2 or more NICs giving redundant connectivity is being network booted. It is valid to continue booting as long as at least one NIC is functional, in

I've noticed for a while that # brctl showstp output is showing 0 for port_no and port_id It seems that somewhere in 2.6 sysfs land the following items got printed in hexadecimal, and brctl code was parsing for decimal only doug:/sys/class/net/eth0/brport# cat port_id 0x8001 doug:/sys/class/net/eth0/brport# cat port_no 0x1 The following patch to bridge-utils (git and 1.2 release) lets

Hi, it seems that ipconfig has a problem if multiple devices are up and connected to the same network. It seems that it uses the wrong socket/device index to compare it to incoming packet. To be more precise, the packet gets discarded in do_pkt_recv as the ifindex from state differs always from the incoming packet To reproduce create two tap devices: $ sudo tunctl -u uli -t tap0

From: Geert Stappers <stappers at debian.org> To make klibc-ipconfig transmit the DHCP vendor class "d-i" and get the DHCP preseeding filename in a text file, it needs the attached patch. belows patch allows ipconfig to be used in Debian installer once the hostname is sent too, see http://blog.andrew.net.au/2006/05/17#d-i_dhcp_hacking Signed-off-by: maximilian attems <maks at

Hi, Here are two fixes for ipconfig/dhcp, the second of them being required for my dhcp3 server to accept ipconfig's requests.

Hi!! I found your ipconfig stuff in the udev rpm in SuSE 9.1. I'm about to setup a initramfs (pretty cool - much better than initrd) to boot linux diskless clients over the net. All the tools I would need, seem to be there with ipconfig/nfsmount ... I like to use the information I get from PXE/syslinux or Etherboot writing something like:

Hello, I found a bug in ipconfig and I'm sending a proposed patch for it. I've only seen it happen in 2 dhcp-server environments. Scenario: ipconfig sends a DHCP_DISCOVER, server A answers with a DHCP_OFFER, server B answers with a DHCP_OFFER, ipconfig sends a DHCP_REQUEST for server A, ipconfig accepts the DHCP_OFFER from server B instead of DHCP_ACK from server A. <== BUG The reason

Hi all, I've recently been experimenting with Xen VMs booted using DHCP/NFS, and that's looking good. One nuisance is that I'm unable to get the DNS to update on the server since there's no hostname in the DHCP request packet. I'm aware that I can specify a hostname using the long-format device name, but this doesn't seem to play well with initramfs. So, I'd like to

Hi, Attached and on the "ipconfig_down" branch at github (https://github.com/kpinc/klibc.git) you will find 4 patches which let ipconfig bring down interfaces. Please consider them for inclusion. Why do this? It's useful when the rootfs is crypted and is unlocked by supplying passwords over the network. In this case the initramfs brings up a network interface. It can be useful

klibcs ipconfig tries to guess the nameserver if no nameserver is provided. This may happen due to misconfigured dhcp or the use of the ip= parameter. This patch removes the guessing from ipconfig as it is not possible for any other script to determine if the provided nameserver is valid or a guessed one. If the old behavior is really needed this could be easily implemented in an external script.

hey all, i am trying to run a program called 'kintecus' on a mac. it was originally written for win (and linux) machines, so i ended up using wine (to get the windows version running). the problem is, it creates a 'unique computer ID' which you have to send to the author in order for it to work (he will provide then a code that allows you to run the program). this is done when it

Hi, ipconfig is used in ltsp (thin clients) initramfs. Some of the users have to have 2 dhcp servers in ltsp environments, so they hit on this problem: The first dhcp request is from the pxe rom boot code. This code ignores any dhcp offers that don't have a filename field. So they always get the correct address, from the ltsp server. The second dhcp request (in initramfs) is done by

In general for what most people do ipconfig is equivalent to ifconfig (getting phased out) or ip in linux. What I am trying to do is create ipconfig script that acts identical to the windows behavior's output so I can create better scripts in powershell that work on both platforms. ipconfig has few options that are not listed with ifconfig or ip. The Windows IP Configuration section has two

When attempting to boot a system using Infiniband interfaces, ipconfig does not recognize Infiniband NICs as having valid MAC addresses, so they are silently ignored. As I would like to be able to netboot using Infiniband, I have patched ipconfig to support Infiniband interfaces. Fortunately, it's a pretty simple and straightforward patch. Below is the patch for your consideration. ---
