Description

This is hrev46311.

Probably the same changes should be applied to NetworkStatus as in hrev45534 since it shows bogus values while interface is configuring.

Change History (7)

To reproduce use non-existent interface: ifconfig /dev/net/foo auto-config

Done in hrev46328. Unfortunately this does not fix the problem reported in comment 1.

Replying to jackburton:

Done in hrev46328. Unfortunately this does not fix the problem reported in comment 1.

Replying to myself: The problem lies within BNetworkRoster or, more probably, in the network stack: BNetworkRoster::AddInterface() should fail when passing an invalid interface like in comment 1.

As suspected: ifconfig /dev/net/foo does actually cause the net_stack to allocate resources for the non-existing interface.

comment:6 by jackburton, 11 years ago

Shouldn't the stack or the ethernet module check if a device with the given name exists ? In allocate_device_interface() or in ethernet_init() respectively.

Closing, since the original problem is fixed. I opened a new ticket for the problem in comment 1. (#10183).
