network

Notable Changes

• MAC VLAN support has been added.

• A bug which did not allow to disable autoconnect with the initscripts provider has been fixed.

• A bug where the role failed during bridge configuration with the initscripts provider has been fixed.

• The network role now allows to set the connection state to down regardless of whether it is defined in the configuration.

• If the interface_name and mac options are not given, the value of the name option is used for interface_name. Setting interface_name to an empty string ("") specifies that the profile is not restricted to a network interface.

• The network role now detects the provider if the network_provider variable is not given. When NetworkManager is running, the provider is set to nm, otherwise to initscripts. The role sets the network_provider_os_default variable based on the OS version.
