[arch-projects] [netctl] News draft
by Jouke Witteveen 16 Apr '13

16 Apr '13

I have tagged version 0.8 of netctl and based on Florians usual response times, it will hit [testing] soon. If no major bugs pop up in the coming week (or two), I would like this to be the first version to make it to [core]. Steps needed: 1. move openresolv to [core] 2. write a news item How about the following for step 2? ---netctl is now in [core]--- Meet netctl: a profile based networking CLI using systemd. In the near future, the old netcfg will be removed from [core]. Anyone using it is urged to move to netctl. Migration is a manual process during which you might not have access to the Internet, so take care and read the man pages (netctl(1), netctl.profile(5) and netctl.special(7)). The design of netctl is so that systemd enthusiasts will appreciate its usage and netcfg users will be familiar with its profile files. As you install netctl, netcfg will be removed, but the enabled systemd services will remain until manually disabled. The [wiki:netctl wiki] holds some additional information on migrating from netcfg. ------ I do not intend to do any more work on netcfg. If anyone wants to take over, it could be moved to [extra] or [community], but otherwise I think one networking CLI of this kind is enough and we can drop netcfg altogether. Note that netctl is not as Arch specific as netcfg was. Gentoo already has a netctl ebuild. Regards, - Jouke

[arch-projects] [netctl] Suggestion: support for ppp and mobile broadband
by Robbie Smith 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

I only discovered netctl today, and from what I’ve read in the wiki, mailing lists, and the code, it sounds like a really interesting project. Kudos to all the devs behind it! One feature I’m certainly after (and would be definitely willing to write/port/test) is support for mobile broadband connections using pppd. netcfg has basic support for this, and I hacked together some scripts and profiles based on information in the wiki and elsewhere that would establish a connection to a USB modem. I put the scripts up on the AUR[1], if anyone is interested. Lately I’ve been exploring systemd’s possibilities[2] and have been trying to encourage it, netcfg, and pppd to cooperate a little better[3]. If some of those ideas could be incorporated into netctl, that would be brilliant. As I mentioned above, I’m willing to write or port (and document) the necessary code, though I’m not particularly sure where to start, be it writing it or making it conform to Arch standards. I’ve used Linux for years, but I’m new to contributing as I’m more of a user than a programmer.

[arch-projects] [netctl] Few observations
by Leonid Isaev 25 Mar '13

25 Mar '13

Hi, I have been running testing/netctl for a couple of days now and noticed some issues (some of which are not really netctl specific). I thought it might be better to bring them up here, as opposed to flyspray. 1. There used to be a DHCP_OPTIONS variable in netcfg, but it is never mentioned in netctl documentation. Meanwhile, ip_set() in globals, does have DHCPOptions. Was making this variable invisible to the user intentional? It is quite convenient when dealing with buggy DHCP servers (e.g. -d switch for dhcpcd)... 2. There is a WPADriver variable whuch is not read if a profile is included in a group by netctl-auto (because profiles are parsed in separate subshells). This a good thing, as different profiles can have incompatible values of WPADriver, but I think it should be included in documentation (it can seriously confuse a user, myself included, who looks at ps auxww). 3. This is the main issue, albeit also present in netcfg. With wpa_supplicant 2.0 and wpa_actiond 1.4 we noticed a sizeable delay when shutting down netctl-auto (resp. net-auto-wireless) in a WPA-EAP environment. This is somehow related to the fact that wpa_actiond is never killed by netctl/netcfg which only terminates wpa_supplicant/dhcp client. The real problem may be in wpa_supplicant, but regardless, netctl/netcfg should properly clean up after itself. Pts. (2) and (3) are 'fixed' by the following small patch... Cheers, -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key: 0x164B5A6D Fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D

[arch-projects] [netctl] 'netctl enable' breakage with tuntap/bonding/bridge
by Thomas Bächler 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

When running 'netctl enable' on a tuntap interface, netctl assumes from BindsToInterfaces being unset that it should depend on the interface itself (an interface that is only created when the profile is started). This means that after running 'netctl enable' on a tuntap profile, it cannot be started anymore (in particular, it will not start on boot). The same problem exists if you want to create a bridge or bonding interface with no slaves (I often create empty dummy bridges that gain interfaces on the fly, but by default those bridges have no slaves). netctl's unit_enable needs to learn how to distinguish these cases from the ones where BindsToInterfaces is set to Interface. On a related note, if sd_escape (in netctl) is called with an empty argument list, which happens if you try to work around this issue, your whole environment is dumped into a systemd file. It needs a check for $# == 0.
