Hi Devuan network users and adminstrators, I was recently suprised to observe network interfaces (wlan0 and eth0) going up without my issuing commands for it. I'd disable an interface, then see it go right back up.
I somehow guessed that the culprit might be wicd, and confirmed that a wicd process was active. I never ran any of the wicd admin tools. The list of wicd features does not mention that it interferes with managing networks using net-tools or iproute2 commands. Is this a bug, or a documentation bug? Certainly, the behavior is less-than-awesome. If one wants to learn about networking on linux, or to administer a system using conventional command-line tools, one should know that wicd needs to be removed. Do net-tools and iproute2 need to warn against wicd? Should wicd warn that it disrupts administration via net-tools? I wonder if there is any parallel in how in linux we administer /etc/resolv.conf. Do you have any thoughts about clarifying how to expect the networking environment to work under linux? regards, -- Joel Roth _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
