Details
I patched the /etc/rc.d/network script, to start network
profiles in a
chain, and stop as soon as the first network successfully started. Therefore I introduced a new modifier in /etc/rc.conf for the NET_PROFILES line, the colon. Little example: /etc/rc.conf: NET_PROFILES=(prof1 prof2 :prof3 prof4 :prof5) prof1, prof2 and prof4 are started the "old" way. prof3 and prof5 are stored in the chain and the script tries first to start prof3, if it successes, prof5 is skipped. Starting a profile can fail, if the cable is not plugged in (tested with mii-tool), or there is no dhcp response (if dhcp is used). Patch attached (cd /etc/rc.d/ ; patch < /path/to/network.patch) |
