'/etc/rc.d/network ifup eth0' issue

OutOfPhase · 2011-09-15 09:53:37

When I run the command '/etc/rc.d/network ifup eth0' it gives the error:

up: error fetching interface information: Device not found

It seems that the script calls 'ifconfig up' which should be 'ifconfig eth0 up'. This breaks my ifplugd setup.
Changing 'local ifcfg=${!1}' into 'local ifcfg=${1}' in the ifup function in the network script seems to fix this. Does anyone else also have the same issue?

ifconfig is deprecated

use the ip command:

ip link set up dev eth0

I doubt it. If so, then initscripts and ifplugd are also deprecated.

Did you read the link. They are depreciated. Not really a whole lot of doubt about it.

Ok, so ifplugd does not work out of the box, as it uses broken functions.

@OutOfPhase
You are correct and should submit a bug report.
The following command shows that ifplugds /etc/ifplugd/if{up,down}.d/01-route.sh depends on /sbin/route which is in net-tools.

for f in $(pacman -Qql net-tools); do grep $f $(pacman -Qql ifplugd | xargs); done

I wonder if we could add a variant of this to namcap. That is, find all binaries mentioned by scripts in a package that are included in neither that package nor in one of its dependencies.
