0.3.x will still work - you just can't run it on more than one interface. So technically, we don't need to stable 0.4.x with baselayout-1.12 |
OK, same for wired LAN - if you don't need it, you can stick with 0.3.x - if you want it you have to use the keyworded 0.4.5. Maybe you can point that out when the next version bump is done for baselayout in the changelog - just to prevent wrong complaints and bug reports (in case anybody else then me needs this features). |

Tested the patch and IT WORKS (tm). I had to adjust the dhcp on eth1 (WLAN) to do nodns and nogateway so that the internet stuff in still routed trough eth0 but that was no problem with the power of baselayout (that is well documented in /etc/conf.d/net.example).
Thank you so much Uberlord! |

Hmmm, is there a way to only use the dhcp_eth1="nodns nogateway" if
a) eth0 AND eth1 are both up and running or
b) eth1 is connected to a specific essid?
The result of both approaches would be the same: at home I have inet over LAN so everything must be routed over eth0. At university I use WLAN (LAN is not plugged) thus routing over eth1. |

Why don't you try RC_AUTO_INTERFACE="yes" and then see what happens to your routing table and /etc/resolv.conf with both interfaces active

With RC_AUTO_INTERFACE="yes" you get the Gentoo equivalent of NetworkManager minus the shiny GUI. And unlike NetworkManager, we actually work

I tested the long awaited baselayout 1.12.0_pre10 and the patches made it in there exept the patch for multible wpa_supplicant.conf files that can be specified from within /etc/conf.d/net for every interface.
I hope you just forgot it and it will make into the _pre11 or even a fast _pre10-r1.
OT: I tried the PARALLEL_INIT thing or what it's called and the "serial" service can not be started at all. I wonder why I need this at all (it never came into my view before). Can I savely remove it from boot? |

Whups! I lost the patch as well - do you still have it to save me from writing it?

You can safely remove it - the serial init script has been moved to the serial package and is no longer in baselayout

Here you go: wpa_supplicant-multiple.patch and wpa_supplicant-conf.patch
Friendly reminder: Did you change your mind about the error message when the timeout for an interface is set to -1? I still belive a simple "backgrounding ..." message is the better way to go |

Thanks for that - they are definitely comitted to our tree now
I have changed the message to a simple einfo "Backgrounding ..." and we now default to a -1 timeout
I'll probably include this in a -r1 sometime soon

Thanks, that's great news and all my wishes finaly came true
Regarding the updated patch, do you want me to check it again or is this not nessecary? I'm asking because I did a symlink as workaround for the wpa_supplicant.conf and so I am to lasy to patch the baselayout (have a lot to do for university atm). My workaround would be enough for the time until -r1 is out. But if you want feedback, I will test it again. |

Yeah, please try it just to make sure
Something else came up, so there will be an -r1, and probably before end of Friday

Damn, you have been rooling out -r1 so fast that I didn't even had a chance to test the new patch. But given this patch is in the -r1 it's just fine, cause -r1 works great here. I guess I have to reboot just to see whether I see the "Backgrounding" message now
Ones again a BIG THANK YOU! |

Just be aware of this bug
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112088
It's been present in the 1.12 branch for sometime, but the change to default -1 timeouts has exposed it a little

I checked it on my system but I had to read the bug report twice to understand that they talk about net.ethX DEPENDEND services. Well, I do not have any of them and the interface itselve comes up nicely after restart.
My new idea is to write a vpnc module for baselayout during the next 2 weeks - do you think this is a good idea in general or may there be any problems? Maybe this is bloating baselayout to much?
Before I can start I have to solve some general problems here (not Gentoo related - vpnc often doesn't come up and says "authetification unsuccessful"). |

What's wrong with a plain init script?

Yes you are right! Init script will do in this case. |
