Description

Right now this doesn't appear to be happening, but it may be because of #190.

Actions #1

Updated by Hammel over 11 years ago

  • Target version changed from 0.5.0 to 1.0.0
Actions #2

Updated by Hammel over 11 years ago

It may be possible to create a static config for this with something like this in it:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
    pre-up [ -f /etc/network/eth0.ok ]

Where bui-network-config enable/disable creates/deletes the stamp file. The only time this might break is if we have more than one wlan interface attached. In that case, it would be better for bui-network-config to rebuild the interfaces file manually.

Actions #3

Updated by Hammel over 11 years ago

  • % Done changed from 0 to 50

An initial test of the enable button functionality makes it appear that /etc/network/interfaces is indeeded getting updated.

A few more tests are needed to verify that this assumption is correct.

Actions #4

Updated by Hammel over 11 years ago

  • Status changed from New to Closed
  • % Done changed from 50 to 100

Verified - save from interfaces page of UI updates /etc/network/interfaces.

This usage might be a little confusing since save is context-aware, but for now this will do (until somebody actually complains).

Closing issue.
