I'd consider that a "hack" myself... ;o)
I must have missed the ppp nukes eth thread, can you email me
privately about it as I think I might have had a problem in the
past that could be similar, and I'd like to submit it to Bugzilla
if it is still existant.
My problem was if I used 10.1.1.0/24 for a private eth LAN, and
had ppp on the machine, when PPP came up, it was given the
dynamic IP from the ISP, but it used 10.1.1.1 as the IP instead,
thus hosing the ethernet card. If I changed the ethernet config
from:
IP:10.1.1.1 netmask:255.255.255.0 bcast:10.1.1.255
to
IP:192.168.1.1 netmask:255.255.255.0 bcast:192.168.1.255
the problem went away. I *HAD* to use 10.x for the ethernet card
though, and never did find a solution. Ended up trying various
different software package updates, etc.. to no avail. That was
with Red Hat 5.0 or 5.1 I believe. We never could get it going,
and had to ditch the whole idea due to time constraints.
I always use 192.x addresses so I never encountered the problem
again.
It would be interesting to see if it is fixed though.
