Title:
Existing default gateway causes to fail to bring fully up a device
Status in ifupdown package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 dev with ifupdown 0.7.48.1ubuntu5. My network
contains a router which is able to handle connections over LAN and
WLAN but if a client is configured to have this router as gateway on
his ethernet and WLAN device the second device which is brought up
causes an error on ifup. Here is such a client setup from
/etc/network/interfaces (the wpa-psk is replaced with asterisks):
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
#auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.3
dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1
gateway 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
#auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.4
dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1
gateway 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
wpa-psk ***
wpa-ssid o2-WLAN65
Bringing up these devices manually results in this output:

RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Failed to bring up wlan0.
ifup calls "ip route" to setup the default gateway for wlan0 but fails
because it already exists for eth0. Maybe ifup should check if a default
gateway already exists and not call "ip route" in such a case.
