Package: iproute
Version: 20090115-1
Severity: minor
Per one of the bugs on vlan package vconfig is now considered
deprecated.
Attached is a script 'ip-vlan' to be placed in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d
and /etc/network/if-post-down.d to retain the ability to have
rawdev.vlanid devices in /etc/interfaces as well as arbitrarily
named vlan interfaces.
Behavior is the same as the scripts from the vlan package with the
addition of the vlan-vlanid and ip-vlan-args directives.
Current behavior is to quietly exit if vconfig is found in the system
unless overridden in /etc/default/iproute.
It currently mimic vlan's behavior of using ip link show to check for
the existance of the raw device. I'm not sure if /sys/class/net/<rawdev>
checking wouldn't be better. It also currently mimics vlan's behavior
of bringing up the raw dev.
Should ip allow the creation of arbitrarily named macvlan devices, I
am willing to add that functionality.
