I have installed FC1 + udpdates, and it seems that the scripts to
start up the network are somewhat broken (both in 7.42.1 and
7.42.2-1). After defining a DHCP interface, starting it up fails:
$ ifup DHCP
Determining IP information for eth0:3.../sbin/dhclient-script: configuration eth0:3 for eth0:3 not found.
The same happens when trying to use the graphical tool. The
configuration file ifcfg-DHCP is in place, and it looks right. I
tried to trace the problem and it is apparently some mismatch between
/sbin/ifup and /sbin/dhclient-script regarding the name of the
configuration file for the interface. Any hint?
Check /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and verify that that the ifcfg-DHCP
(VERY bad name...see below) specifies "DEVICE=eth0:3". If not,
dhcpclient won't work since no DEVICE has been defined.
The scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts should be named after the
interface it affects--NOT the protocol used to define its IP address,
e.g. "ifcfg-eth0:3", NOT "ifcfg-DHCP".
In each file is a "DEVICE=" definition which should also specify the
device. dhclient depends on the device name in
/etc/dhclient/dhclient.conf to specify its parameters (see the
"interface" specification in "man dhclient.conf").
