Hi all, I'm writing a plugin for Gentoo. I've read the source code of ifupdown and ifcfg-rh. I find that ifupdown use udev to bind device to connection. The main work it has done during binding is getting the mac address of network interface through udev API and adding it to corresponding connection setting. However, I didn't find the same thing in ifcfg-rh.
So I've tried to omit the udev part for my gentoo plugin. After starting NetworkManager, although I can see the connection managed by my plugin via nm-applet, ifconfig command shows that the network isn't correctly setup. Do I need to set mac address for each connection to let them work correctly? Or there are other things that I didn't handle in the right way? I've tried to remove mac address saved in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*, but NM still works correctly. -- Best wishes, Mu Qiao _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
