      I’m adding this change to the inits.

      All you’d have to do is, if you’re running the latest SVN versions, re-run the installer.

          From what I’m seeing, we don’t need the -l on the ls.

          Why? Because the link is back to the /sys/devices/<location> and the separation in that folder contains multiple delimiters we need to break from. Will correct, but the for loop, from what I can see only needs to be ls /sys/class/net | tr -d ‘@’

            Careful, that’s not an “L”, that’s a “One.” He set it up to do one file/directory per line.

                That’s right, thanks for clarifying. And thank you Tom for adding this straight into the project. I really hope that it’s not causing any trouble for other users…

                  It shouldn’t pose problems unless the nic is unsupported, in which case they’d already be having problems regardless of with or without these tweaks.

                    so apparently this isn’t working properly.

                    I’ve changed the for loop to only add if the interfaces found does not match lo and eth0. My testing side seems to work properly, but other’s are seeing really strange things, particularly that the nic’s aren’t getting IPs. I don’t know why, maybe I can get some help over here?

                      Sure I am happy to assist as much as I can!! Looking at the script in current SVN I noticed that you create ‘/etc/network/interfaces’ new from scratch (by using ‘>’) when ‘lo’ is detected. Normally that would be a good idea but when running this in my FOG test environment (QEMU) I end up with this:
                      [CODE]auto lo
                      iface lo inet loopback[/CODE]

                      Why you ask?? Because ‘lo’ does not necessarily come first. Actually on most systems ls is sorted by alphabet and ‘e’ comes before ‘l’. Do you know what I mean?

                      Fix: Use “>> /etc/network/interfaces” everywhere instead of “> /etc/network/interfaces”. If you want to make sure that it’s empty then do “echo > /etc/network/interfaces” before the for loop.

                        By default, udhcpc uses eth0. You will probably need to add -a $iface to udhcpc_opts. I was unsure if that would be taken care of by /etc/network/interfaces.

                          What’s weird, though, is the /etc/network/interfaces appears to get the proper values set (without the -a) but even without eth0 should still be found with little issue, and without these tweaks (reverting back to only having iface eth0) everything functions properly.

                            Actually, I was trying to go off memory. The flag is [B]-i $iface[/B]. You don’t want to use -a. Sorry about that.

                                Would the problems we’re seeing be related to the fact we bring the interface up, but we don’t bring it back down, so when the interface is added and the loop happens, it can’t get dhcp because it believes the link is up?

                                  Finally got a chance to play with it, and I have a solution.

                                  Insert a 5-second sleep between setting the interface up and checking the link status (we can’t just check before it gets a chance to find out if it is connected to a cable). Here’s the snippet as modified.

                                  [CODE]…
                                  /sbin/ip link set $iface up

                                  Provide time for the interface to update linkstate

                                  sleep 5
                                  linkstate=$(/bin/cat /sys/class/net/$iface/carrier)
                                  …[/CODE]

                                  Works on my end.

                                  …and if you wait just a second, I’ll have an optimized version…

                                    [CODE]# Enable all interfaces
                                    ifaces=$(ls -1 /sys/class/net | tr -d ‘@’)
                                    for iface in $ifaces; do
                                    /sbin/ip link set $iface up
                                    done

                                    Provide time for interfaces to detect their state

                                    sleep 5

                                    echo “auto lo” > /etc/network/interfaces
                                    echo “iface lo inet loopback” >> /etc/network/interfaces

                                    for iface in $ifaces; do
                                    linkstate=$(/bin/cat /sys/class/net/$iface/carrier)
                                    if [[ “x$linkstate” = “x1” -a “x$iface” != “xlo” ]]; then
                                    echo “auto $iface” >> /etc/network/interfaces
                                    echo “iface $iface inet dhcp” >> /etc/network/interfaces
                                    echo -e “\tudhcpc_opts -t 100 -T 20\n” >> /etc/network/interfaces
                                    fi
                                    /sbin/ip link set $iface down
                                    done[/CODE]

                                    This solution only requires one sleep rather than five-seconds of sleep time per interface.

                                    Edit: Fixed typos.

                                      Bad statement.

                                      linkstate=$(/bin/cat /sys/class/net/$iface

                                      Should be

                                          Sorry, I was copying off code from my cellphone and wasn’t thinking about what I was typing. Also caught another typo on the udhcpc_opt statement.

                                          Fixed the typos in the original post.

                                            There’s one more issue

                                            Shouldn’t the cat be reading a file, not the directory?

                                            Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

                                            Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)
