Im trying to understand devd.conf.
there is a text, wich is:
# Try to start dhclient on Ethernet like interfaces when the link comes
# up. Only devices that are configured to support DHCP will actually
# run it. No link down rule exists because dhclient automaticly exits
# when the link goes down.
when i unplug the rj45, i dont see dhclient quitting. i have to ifconfig
the interface down. only so, dhclient will exit.
base in this, if i modify devd.conf and add this line:
notify 0 {
match "system" "IFNET";
match "type" "LINK_DOWN";
media-type "ethernet";
action "/etc/rc.d/dhclient stop $subsystem";
};
when i unplug the cable it will stop dhclient, but, when i plug the
cable in again, devd sees 2 events, the LINK_UP and inmedialy it see a
LINK_DOWN, so dhclient is stopped.
whats the correct way to configure the ethernet cards?
is there a way to make something similar work to wifi card? i.e. when
its assisiated with a ssid, run dhclient, and when no carrier, stop it?
i have run devd -dD, but it does not seems to get any event from the
wifi card. its an intel 2200.
thanks in advance,
