Package: laptop-net
Version: 2.26-7
Followup-For: Bug #150830
I would like to see support of multiple interfaces for laptop-net (mine
situation is the network card and wifi card inside my Sony Vaio FE31ZR).
After careful diggind I found that /usr/lib/laptop-net/ifd can handle
mutiple interfaces by specifing them in the commnd line like this:
/usr/lib/laptop-net/ifd /usr/share/laptop-net/link-change eth0 eth2
When I run it like this both interfaces are monitored and works well.
But startup script for laptop-net has strange code:
# grep -n eth0 /etc/init.d/laptop-net
55:INTERFACE="${INTERFACE:-eth0}"
#
(offtopic : I stil can force to watch over eth2 interface by these commands:
/etc/init.d/laptop-net stop
INTERFACE=eth2 /etc/init.d/laptop-net start
Does this expected ?)
After this ifd detect changes over eth2 too but exec link-change script
with 'unmanaged' parameter. That is why eth2 does not work for me. This
is only the one reason for supporting only the one interface. That value
will be passed to ifd and these interfaces it will monitor. We could
make list of interfaces to be configurable (eth0 eth2) or make it work
for all interfaces (all) like this (not tested pseudo code):
if [ "$INTERFACES" = "all" ]; then
INTERFACES=`cat /proc/net/dev | awk '{print $1}' | egrep '^(eth|wlan)' | sed
's,:$,,'`
fi
and then pass them to ifd.
