Summary

0000880: ifupdown fails to set hwaddress

Description

When using ifup to enable an interface that has a hwaddress line in /etc/network/interfaces the SIOCSIFHWADDR ioctl fails with a message that the device is busy. This happens because all the parameters are sent on a single ifconfig line and thus the interface is set to an UP state before the hwaddress portion is processed.

Notes
(0001380) byronclark 05-24-06 08:27	busybox-hw-before-up.patch is a diff against r15159 to set the hardware address before other addresses. This is very close to the series of commands used by debian ifup.
