Hi Mike--
I use a start_if.* script to configure some settings (such as SSID, WEP
keys, etc.) for my wireless cards, which subsequently get their
addresses via DHCP (ifconfig.*="DHCP"). This has worked wonderfully for
quite awhile.
After updating with this change, it looks like my start_if.* scripts
never gets called. It looks like /etc/rc.d/netif only runs these
scripts for non-DHCP interfaces. Moreover there doesn't appear to be
anywhere *else* that invokes the start_if.* scripts either.
What about making dhclient_prestart() do something like this:
for ifn in ${dhcp_list}; do
ifscript_up${ifn}
done
(This works for me, BTW.)
Or am I misunderstanding what start_if.* is used for?
Thanks!
Bruce.
