hi
problem is sysctl is called before! the network modules are up, if you use hotplug and don't enter eth module to rc.conf daemon array.
then something like this is printed during bootup
[root@Studium etc]# sysctl -q -p
error: "net.ipv4.conf.eth0.accept_source_route" is an unknown key
error: "net.ipv4.conf.eth0.rp_filter" is an unknown key
error: "net.ipv4.conf.eth0.accept_redirects" is an unknown key
error: "net.ipv4.conf.eth0.log_martians" is an unknown key
This task depends upon

ok read some kernel docs, question why do you define interfaces?
ok lo has everyone but eth0?
i think everything is fine with all and default, if someone needs other settings, he can add it on his own, but will get errors during startup, because the interface will be not up when you call sysctl.
any other opinion?

When the latest kernel26 is moved to Current, that error will disappear.
