Clint Byrum 2129d78124 Fix ifquery call in dhcp-all-interfaces
Ifquery does not print anything for interfaces which only have a single
iface line. It does, however, return non-zero if the interface is not
configured at all, so we can use that to indicate whether or not there
is a configuration.

Fixes bug #1233579

README.md Add element to run DHCP on all network interfaces. 2013-04-02 10:28:18 +01:00

Autodetect network interfaces during boot and configure them for DHCP

The rationale for this is that we are likely to require multiple network interfaces for use cases such as baremetal and there is no way to know ahead of time which one is which, so we will simply run a DHCP client on all interfaces (except lo) that are visible on the first boot.

The script /usr/local/sbin/generate-interfaces-file.sh will be called early in each boot and will scan available network interfaces and ensure they are all present in /etc/network/interfaces.

Note that this element is only expected to be useful on Debian-derived distributions, currently.
