Package: dhcp3-client
Version: 3.0.1-1
Severity: normal
I have the following lines in /etc/network/interfaces:
## Managed by ifplug
iface eth0 inet dhcp
metric 1
## Managed by waproamd
iface eth1 inet dhcp
metric 2
eth0 is an e100 card, eth1 is an ipw2200 wireless.
I want the wireless to be installed with a higher metric so that when
I'm plugged into the base-station the wired connection will be preferred
over the wireless.
The problem is, despite the bit in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-script:
if [ -n "$IF_METRIC" ]; then
metric_arg="metric $IF_METRIC" # interfaces(5), "metric" option
fi
The IF_METRIC variable is not passed through to the script. I have
confirmed through /proc/<pid>/environ that the dhclient3 process does
have this variable set, but isn't passing it through to the script.
I confirmed that by adding a 'set' statement to the script directly
after the IF_METRIC test above, and seeing that IF_METRIC wasn't set
in the junk it dumped on my screen when I did an 'ifup eth1'.
Bron.

Description:
ifupdown - high level tools to configure network interfaces
Closes: 279741 364581 580035 673057 676244 676323 677973 678101
Changes:
ifupdown (0.7.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Supply metric setting to dhclient (Closes: #279741, #364581, #676323).
* Add autoconf/accept_ra options to inet6/dhcp (Closes: #676244).
* Clean up after /run migration (Closes: #673057):
- Remove old /etc/network/run.dpkg-old symlink.
- Try to remove old /etc/network/run even if it's a symlink.
* Depend on initscripts >= 2.88dsf-25 so mountnfs doesn't break.
* Pass -q to sysctl to make the output less verbose.
* Fix shell scripting mistake in /etc/init.d/networking (thanks to
Stanislav Maslovski, closes: #678101).
* Changes to interfaces exclusion:
- Accept -X shortcut (wasn't working because of a bug).
- Allow specifying more than one -X option.
- Use shell glob syntax.
* Add /etc/default/networking (Closes: #580035, #677973):
- CONFIGURE_INTERFACES can be used to disable interfaces configuration.
- Individual interfaces can be excluded with EXCLUDE_INTERFACES.
- Extra verbosity may be requested with VERBOSE.
* When ifup is being run with --force -n, always report errors regardless of
ifstate.
