Hello,
A snippet from my /etc/rc.conf:
pccard_enable="YES"
ifconfig_wi0="inet 10.0.0.2"
ifconfig_ed1="dhcp"
On 4.5-RC3 it works as I expected, each interface will get it's own
value for ifconfig command.
On 5.0-RC3, however, this does not happen.
/etc/pccard_ether has been changed this way:
case ${pccard_ifconfig} in
[Nn][Oo] | '')
+ expr "...." : ".*${interface}" > /dev/null || exit 0
;;
*)
# Backward compatible
eval ifconfig_${interface}=\${pccard_ifconfig}
;;
esac
Default value of ${pccard_ifconfig} is "NO", so the script exits too
early now. If I set this varibale, I will get that value for each and
every interface. Right?
I would suggest something like this (pseudo code):
case ${pccard_ifconfig} in
[Nn][Oo] | '')
expr "...." : ".*${interface}" > /dev/null || exit 0
;;
*)
# Backward compatible
+ eval ifconfig_${interface}=\$pccard_ifconfig_${interface}
;;
esac
Am I abusing the featute? What is a correct way to deal with this
effect? For a time being I have commented out that line and it works
OK for me.
TIA
