ipv4: ipconfig.c: add parentheses in an if statement

2014-02-14T05:14:23+00:00

Even if the 'time_before' macro expand with parentheses, the look is bad.

ipconfig: add informative timeout messages while waiting for carrier

2013-04-02T18:35:33+00:00

Commit 3fb72f1e6e6165c5f495e8dc11c5bbd14c73385c ("ipconfig wait
for carrier") added a "wait for carrier on at least one interface"
policy, with a worst case maximum wait of two minutes.

However, if you encounter this, you won't get any feedback from
the console as to the nature of what is going on.  You just see
the booting process hang for two minutes and then continue.

Here we add a message so the user knows what is going on, and
hence can take action to rectify the situation (e.g. fix network
cable or whatever.)  After the 1st 10s pause, output now begins
that looks like this:

	Waiting up to 110 more seconds for network.
	Waiting up to 100 more seconds for network.
	Waiting up to 90 more seconds for network.
	Waiting up to 80 more seconds for network.
	...

Since most systems will have no problem getting link/carrier in the
1st 10s, the only people who will see these messages are people with
genuine issues that need to be resolved.

ipconfig: Fix newline handling in log message.

2013-03-20T16:15:58+00:00

When using ipconfig the logs currently look like:

net: proc: change proc_net_fops_create to proc_create

2013-02-18T19:53:08+00:00

Right now, some modules such as bonding use proc_create
to create proc entries under /proc/net/, and other modules
such as ipv4 use proc_net_fops_create.

It looks a little chaos.this patch changes all of
proc_net_fops_create to proc_create. we can remove
proc_net_fops_create after this patch.

net/ipv4/ipconfig: really display the BOOTP/DHCP server's address.

2013-01-04T23:14:14+00:00

Up to now, the debug and info messages from the ipconfig subsytem
claim to display the IP address of the DHCP/BOOTP server but
display instead the IP address of the bootserver.  Fix that.

ipconfig: fix trivial build error

The commit 5e953778a2aab04929a5e7b69f53dc26e39b079e ("ipconfig: add nameserver
IPs to kernel-parameter ip=") introduces ic_nameservers_predef() that defined
only for BOOTP. However it is used by ip_auto_config_setup() as well. This
patch moves it outside of #ifdef BOOTP.

ipconfig: add nameserver IPs to kernel-parameter ip=

2012-09-21T18:51:21+00:00

On small systems (e.g. embedded ones) IP addresses are often configured
by bootloaders and get assigned to kernel via parameter "ip=".  If set to
"ip=dhcp", even nameserver entries from DHCP daemons are handled. These
entries exported in /proc/net/pnp are commonly linked by /etc/resolv.conf.

To configure nameservers for networks without DHCP, this patch adds option
 and  to kernel-parameter 'ip='.

net: delete all instances of special processing for token ring

2012-05-16T00:14:35+00:00

We are going to delete the Token ring support.  This removes any
special processing in the core networking for token ring, (aside
from net/tr.c itself), leaving the drivers and remaining tokenring
support present but inert.

The mass removal of the drivers and net/tr.c will be in a separate
commit, so that the history of these files that we still care
about won't have the giant deletion tied into their history.
