#9591: [net_server] it shouldn't be possible to auto-config an interface with no link ----------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: diver | Owner: mmlr Type: bug | Status: assigned Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Servers/net_server | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ----------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by mmlr): Indeed hrev45436 should have disabled this behaviour. So unless BNetworkInterface::HasLink() is broken, or the driver at hand does not provide the link state via IFM_ACTIVE (or not at all), no configuration should happen. I have an unattached rtl81xx device here and invoking {{{ifconfig /dev/net/rtl81xx/0 auto-config}}} does nothing as it should. I have disabled the ipv6 module here, so I can't comment on that. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9591#comment:4> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
