ALT Linux Bugzilla – #18413

etcnet-0.9.7-alt0.M41.1

Example:

at the beginning, everything is down:

[root@localhost net]# ifconfig 
[root@localhost net]# 

the configuration is to bring up the iface "lan" in the profile "Auto":

[root@localhost net]# ls ifaces/lan/
options  options#Auto
[root@localhost net]# cat ifaces/lan/options
TYPE=eth
[root@localhost net]# cat ifaces/lan/options#Auto 
DISABLED=no
TYPE=eth
MODULE=sky2
NM_CONTROLLED=no
# I have a reasonable self-configuring default:
#BOOTPROTO=dhcp,ipv4ll
[root@localhost net]# cat ifaces/default/options
# This file doesn't contain comments any more, refer to etcnet-options(5)
# manpage for detailed options description.

DISABLED=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
USE_HOTPLUG=no
USE_PCMCIA=no
CONFIG_IPV4=yes
CONFIG_IPV6=no
CONFIG_IPX=no
CONFIG_QOS=yes
CONFIG_WIRELESS=no
CONFIG_FW=no
KEEP_DOWN=no
DONT_FLUSH=no
IFUP_CHILDREN=no
IFUP_PARENTS=yes
IFDOWN_CHILDREN=yes
IFDOWN_PARENTS=no
DHCP_ARGS='-m 1'
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
[root@localhost net]# cat ifaces/default/options-eth
# This file doesn't contain comments any more.
# For detailed options description refer to etcnet-options(5) manpage,
# section 'Ethernet options'.

USE_IFPLUGD=yes
# But is ifplugd suitable for wireless?!
PERSISTENT_IFPLUGD=no
IFPLUGD_EXTRA_ARGS='--delay-up=0 --delay-down=10'
LINKDETECT=auto
LINKDELAY=5
CONFIG_WIRELESS=yes
AUTO_BROADCAST=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp-ipv4ll
[root@localhost net]# l iftab*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 407 Dec 31 18:42 iftab
[root@localhost net]# cat iftab
# -*- conf-space -*-

# (eth0 is evil!)

lan driver sky2
[root@localhost net]# 

then, I use the profile "Auto":

[root@localhost net]# service network startwith Auto
Computing interface groups: .. 2 interfaces found
Starting group 0/virtual (1 interfaces)
	Starting lo: .....OK
Starting group 1/realphys (1 interfaces)
	Starting lan: ..OK

[root@localhost net]# ifconfig

          Interrupt:17

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

[root@localhost net]# 

now, I want to stop the network:

[root@localhost net]# service network stop
Computing interface groups: . 1 interfaces found
Processing /etc/net/vlantab: empty.
Stopping group 0/virtual (1 interfaces)
	Stopping lo: .OK
[root@localhost net]# ifconfig 
lan       Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:13:A9:91:2A:52  
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:223185 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:127708 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:333227613 (317.7 MiB)  TX bytes:7361514 (7.0 MiB)
          Interrupt:17 

[root@localhost net]# 

Result: the iface which is actually up and has been brought up by etcnet itslef, is not brought down!

Expected: all ifaces which are up or at least those ifaces which have been brought up by etcnet are brought down by "service network stop".

Workaround: use the ugly "stopwith": 

[root@localhost net]# service network stopwith Auto
Computing interface groups: .. 2 interfaces found
Processing /etc/net/vlantab: empty.
Stopping group 1/realphys (1 interfaces)
	Stopping lan: ....OK
Stopping group 0/virtual (1 interfaces)
	Stopping lo: OK
[root@localhost net]# ifconfig 
[root@localhost net]# 

(But that's very illogical: I mustn't remember the name of the profile which was used. Also: the config files might have changed between the "startwith" invocation and "stop". So, etcnet should care about bringing down the actual ifaces.)
