* net/ethtool: official interface for changing ethtool params (bug #195479)Robin H. Johnson2011-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | Implement a consistent interface for changing ethtool parameters, as suggested in bug 195479. All variable names are based on the long option to ethtool to set each group of parameters. Multiple entries seperated by newlines are permitted for variable values. Signed-off-by: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org> X-Gentoo-Bug: 195479
* net/vlan: update to use modern iproute2 interfaceRobin H. Johnson2011-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the vlan setup code that previously used the old vconfig binary with a new implementation using the iproute2 interface. vconfig does not handle many of the newer setups. No automatic migration path is provided, as altering the configuration is non-trivial. Signed-off-by: Robin H.

* Final documentation cleanup for updated bridge code.Robin H. Johnson2010-12-12
| | | | | | | | Specifically document how to handle the case of explicitly starting a bridge and then dynamically adding interfaces to it. brctl_br0='' bridge_add_eth0='br0'
* Merge support for Routing Policy Database (RPDB)Robin H. Johnson2010-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This can be used for multi-homed connections and other advanced routing in Linux. See the documentation links for more information about doing this in linux. The code was a originally pure addon into the conf.d/net files, written in mid-2004 for doing multi-homing between two internet connections. I have finally cleaned this up and integrated it. Thanks to Jonathan Kwan for giving me the original impetus to develop this for Gentoo (it was his dual internet connections...). In the intervening years, it was a example of postup/postdown in the net.example file, however that suffered from a few corner case issues. If you were using the code from net.example, please see the updated section 'Advanced Routing' on syntax, and drop your old function blocks. Additionally, note that the rules added are now directly saved for removal when the interface is taken down.
* Revamp of bridging code.Robin H. Johnson2010-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | - Use sysfs to read bridge information from the system instead of parsing the brctl outputs. - Allow setting of all bridge configuration parameters using new sysfs methods, modelled after bonding configuration. Also works for per-port bridge interface parameters. - Document pre-starting an empty bridge for dynamic add. - Check for interface existence before adding to bridge. - Should fix bug #293046, #309185.
