Package: ifenslave-2.6
Version: 1.1.0-8
Severity: normal
The current pre-up script will not enslave any interface which has
already been brought up by ifupdown. This breaks some configurations,
such as when wpasupplicant is being used via it's ifupdown integration
for a wireless interface that is being slaved with a wired interface. In
such a configuration, the wireless interface must be "ifup'd" before it
can be enslaved to the bonding device.
A simple fix for this is for the pre-up script to only refuse to enslave
interfaces chosen by "slaves auto", and to honour explicit device
listings (such as "slave eth0 wlan0"). The attached patch implements
this fix.
