[Devil-linux-develop] networking updates

[Friedrich L. <fl...@fl...>]

Hi!

Just commited the bridging support contributed by Thomas Eder. So if
you want to give it a try checkout the latest CVS.

Someone doing the documentation please update the documentation about
what is supported now in regards to networking:
  1) 'normal' Ethernet LAN with static routes, DHCP client
  2) VLAN support with static routes
  3) bridging support

For all possible configurations please take a look at the example
config files provided (for the numbers see above):

(1) etc/sysconfig/nic/ifcfg-eth0.sample

(2) etc/sysconfig/nic/ifcfg-eth1.sample
     etc/sysconfig/nic/ifcfg-vlan100.sample

(3) etc/sysconfig/nic/ifcfg-eth2.sample
     etc/sysconfig/nic/ifcfg-eth3.sample
     etc/sysconfig/nic/ifcfg-br0.sample

If any config file depends on any other there's a reference a the
top of each file.

Anything else in the documentation regarding interface and networking
configuration we could improve?

Someone willing to send me a patch that integrates wlan into this
schema?

The following stuff is in the works:
  * IPv6 and bonding by Francois Dumont
  * DHCP server support for VLAN interfaces by Thomas Eder
