We do not support renaming in the kernel namespace anymore (as udev does
that not anymore). So, if a user wants to use ifname, he has to rename
to a custom namespace. "eth[0-9]+" is not allowed anymore.
Anaconda used arguments of the form:
ip=<ip> gateway=<gw> netmask=<nm>
for static IP configuration. So if we get a value for "ip" that's an IP
address, look for gateway= and netmask= and related args to fill in the
ip config vars.
For NetworkManager to properly take over a NFS-root system, we need to
have the interface name(s) in /tmp/net.ifaces and save the dhclient
lease. This lets the ifcfg module do its magic.
save_netinfo should properly write out /tmp/net.ifaces when needed, and
copies the dhclient files into place.
This makes sure the network is active and ready to use during the
initqueue/online hook.
It also makes it so you can run setup_net repeatedly without causing
error messages.
Add new functions: all_ifaces_up, get_netroot_ip, ip_is_local, ifdown,
setup_net, set_ifname, ibft_to_cmdline
Use them in netroot.sh and parse-ip-opts.sh.
There's also a couple little unrelated cleanups.
net-lib.sh is a library of useful functions for network stuff.
More things may get added/moved here in the future.
