Package: ifupdown
Severity: wishlist

(Tom, FYI only)

ifupdown should support automatically determining the physical interface
given the logical interface (or some hint anyway), as well as vice-versa.

Using the message below as an example, you should be able to say something
like:

	ifup =airport

and have a script detect that the "airport" card is actually "eth1";
and then continue normal processing, so you eventually end up bring
"eth1" up in the "home" configuration (eg).

That generalises to servers where eth0/eth1 could get mixed up (eg), and
might make things easier for proper ppp support later. Maybe.

Subject: Slightly newer airport sleep bits for pmud
Message-ID: <20010620130248.A26006@opus.bloom.county>

Hey all, after talking to someone else, I found out not everyone has their
airport modules loaded with autoclean, So I've appended my current version
of the script I use which should work around this.  And I moved it into
/etc/power/pwrctl-local since no official kernels support sleep yet on these
machines.  Here it is:

logger=/usr/bin/logger

case "$1" in
sleep)
        # Currently the airport driver isn't happy with sleep, so we
        # must remove it
        if [ "`lsmod | grep airport 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
                AIRPORT=`cat /proc/net/wireless | grep eth | sed 's/^  //' | cut -d : -f 1`
                ifdown $AIRPORT
                tempfile -n /var/run/airport || {
                        $logger -p daemon.error -t pwrctl "$0: cannot create tempfile"
                        exit 1
                }
                echo $AIRPORT > /var/run/airport
                # Make sure we get airport, even if it's not autoprobed.

If my understanding of how ifupdown works is correct
then this (#101728) idea is flawed.  The proposal is
that ifup|down be enhanced so that logical interfaces
can be named on the command line instead of physical
interfaces.  However, if it is the case that more than
one physical interface can be mapped to a single logical
interface then such a command can be ambiguous.  Unless
of course we want to introduce "reverse-mapping" 
declarations.  What is the motivation for this proposal?

To be honest, it's been a long time since I've had to think about this.
But, the problem was that at one point if you put an Apple TiBook to
sleep, with the 'airport' card active, upon wakeup the driver would be
horribly unhappy (requiring a reboot).  I don't _think_ this is a
problem anymore.  Anthony, do you have any desire still to see the
feature in the bug exist?  I wouldn't object to this bug being closed.

I'm not sure why you think you've got a better understanding of how
ifupdown works than I do, Thomas. Your assistance is appreciated, but
please try to realise you ought to just be offering what assistance you
can, not making decisions you don't have the experience to make.

The original report is still entirely correct.

Cheers,

I never said that I thought I had a better understanding than
you have.  I just said, roughly, "IIUC this is a flawed idea"
and explained my reasoning.  I took no decision; I did not
change the status of the report in any way, apart from
appending my comment.

Your reaction appears to be to take offence, to criticize me
unfairly, and to insist that you were right without offering
any explanation of where my reasoning went wrong.  I don't
think that that is conducive to a constructive conversation.
But I'll drop the matter.

Followup-For: Bug #101728

I think a better way would be to allow complete abstraction from the
ethx names without requiring an external mapping script.
This would involve a section within the interfaces file directly mapping the interface names to mac addresses.

These can then be assigned to the physical devices for example:
ip link set eth1 name broadband

so ifconfig would then report:
broadband Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:8D:49:88:E6
          inet addr:192.168.0.65  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.192
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
....



The overall effect is that the end user never gets to see the ethx
names. Instead they are presented with the names they assigned in the
config file. It would also remove the need for real names and
logical names.

By using a command such as:
ifdown broadband
Since the physical interface name is given on the command line (as they
are currently), I would guess that it shouldn't be too hard to implement.

There may be a flaw in this idea, please let me know what you think.

Version: 0.6.4-4.10
Followup-For: Bug #101728

I think a better way would be to allow complete abstraction from the
ethx names without requiring an external mapping script.
This would involve a section within the interfaces file directly mapping the interface names to mac addresses.

These can then be assigned to the physical devices for example:
ip link set eth1 name broadband

so ifconfig would then report:
broadband Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:8D:49:88:E6
          inet addr:192.168.0.65  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.192

this. It is, however, quite far from ifupdown's original design goals.

X-Spam-Level: 

First some terminology.  There are real network adapters and
there are, assigned to the latter:

* MAC addresses
* "physical" interface names (assigned by the kernel)
* "logical" interface names (i.e., names of ifupdown profiles)

AIUI you want to be able to define logical interfaces in
/etc/network/interfaces as this is currently done but you want
a simpler way of getting these assigned to real interfaces on
the basis of their MAC addresses and you want the "physical"
interface names to be changed so that they are the same as the
logical interface names.

The behavior you want is already obtainable by installing the
ifrename package.  The ifrename command changes the physical
interface name to another name on the basis of the real
interface's MAC address.  Once interfaces have been ifrenamed,
all you have to do is define logical interfaces in /e/n/i 
using the same names.

E.g. Suppose you have an interface adapter card with MAC address
11:22:33:44:55:66.  You set up /etc/iftab with this line:

    george     mac 11:22:33:44:55:66

and /etc/network/interfaces with:

    iface george inet static
        address 11.22.33.44
        netmask ...

Suppose the interface has been named 'eth0' by the kernel.  Then you
do:

    ifrename -i eth0

to rename the interface and then do:

    ifup george

to bring it up.

If the interface is hot plugged and you have the hotplug package
installed then the ifrename command gets executed automatically.
An ifup command also gets executed automatically, but in this form:

    ifup george=hotplug

In order to allow this to to have the effect of bring up interface
"george" as logical interface "george" you need to add the following
stanza to /etc/network/interfaces:

    mapping hotplug
        script echo

X-Spam-Level: 

First some terminology.  There are real network adapters and
there are, assigned to the latter:

* MAC addresses
* "physical" interface names (assigned by the kernel)
* "logical" interface names (i.e., names of ifupdown profiles)

AIUI you want to be able to define logical interfaces in
/etc/network/interfaces as this is currently done but you want
a simpler way of getting these assigned to real interfaces on
the basis of their MAC addresses and you want the "physical"
interface names to be changed so that they are the same as the
logical interface names.

The behavior you want is already obtainable by installing the
ifrename package.  The ifrename command changes the physical
interface name to another name on the basis of the real
interface's MAC address.  Once interfaces have been ifrenamed,
all you have to do is define logical interfaces in /e/n/i 
using the same names.

E.g. Suppose you have an interface adapter card with MAC address
11:22:33:44:55:66.  You set up /etc/iftab with this line:

    george     mac 11:22:33:44:55:66

and /etc/network/interfaces with:

    iface george inet static
        address 11.22.33.44
        netmask ...

Suppose the interface has been named 'eth0' by the kernel.  Then you
do:

    ifrename -i eth0

to rename the interface and then do:

    ifup george

to bring it up.

If the interface is hot plugged and you have the hotplug package
installed then the ifrename command gets executed automatically.
An ifup command also gets executed automatically, but in this form:

    ifup george=hotplug

In order to allow this to to have the effect of bring up interface
"george" as logical interface "george" you need to add the following
stanza to /etc/network/interfaces:

    mapping hotplug
        script echo
