Package: initrd-netboot-tools
Version: 0.5.3cvs.20040906-16
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
udhcpc man page says:
deconfig
deconfig is used when udhcpc starts, and when a lease is lost. The
script should put the interface in an up, but deconfigured, state.
However the script /etc/lessdisks/mkinitrd/network_script does not bring
the network interface up. Adding the word 'up' to the line
'ifconfig "$interface" 0.0.0.0' fixes the problem... except that the
ifconfig command may return before the netwok card can autonegotiate
it's link speed. Hence a small sleep is required.
Here is tha patch:

The inclusion of the sleep binary requires the addition of /bin/sleep to
the variable 'initrd_exe' in /etc/lessdisks/mkinitrd/initrd-netboot.conf
NB: I have not provided a patch for this... but lets face it it is a
trivial change!
Thanks

initrd-netboot doesn't work with current 2.6 kernels anymore, so we've
removed the package.
