networkd ignores errors in reading driver through ethtool. The kind of
network interface is retrieved through netlink, and networkd checks
checks many failures. So, using Kind= should be safer.
No functional change, just for safety.
Also this renames 80-ethernet.network.example -> 89-ethernet.network.example,
to make it have lower precedence over other default .network files for
Ethernet interfaces.
Closes#29765.
This is name ".network.example" for now, to match the existing
80-ethernet.network file.
I think it would make sense to actually install this by default if told
so via a meson file (and then hopefully this would happen even on
Fedora, though in a split off RPM or so). However, we aren't there yet,
hence for now, just ship the .network files as example, like the others.
Arguably, CC0 is just fine for examples since they are not code. But it's
easier to be consistent and just use MIT-0 for all "documentation". Thus,
the license is changed similarly code examples under man/.
Based on 'git shortlog -ns network/*' and 'git log -p', the following folks
should ack this:
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Lennart Poettering
Tom Gundersen
Yu Watanabe
Daan De Meyer
Marc-André Lureau
The file has instructions how to "enable" it by symlinking into the
appropriate place. If we create a different mechanism to do enablement
later on, we can always adjust the instructions.
Closes#3998.
Same justification as the previous commit.
$ for i in network/*-*; do git blame $i;done | less
shows that those files were written by Tom Gundersen, Lennart Poettering, Yu
Watanabe, me, and Marc-André Lureau.
This matches what we have for example programs under man/, and is nice
because it allows people to copy the files as they wish without worrying
about copyright. The files are too trivial to copyright anyway.
RAs trigger neighbor discovery which allows users to query the
LL address of the container/VM via `ip neighbor get dev`. This is
useful as it gives users an easy way to connect to the container
without needing LLMNR or mDNS to resolve the hostname of the container
to an IP address. In practice, this allows connecting with only
networkd enabled and without resolved running in the host/container.
This is useful for development where overwriting files out side
the configured prefix will affect the host as well as stateless
systems such as NixOS that don't let packages install to /etc but handle
configuration on their own.
