There were no comments so far on this patch.
My intention was to allow separating the link layer configuration from the
IPv4 (inet) and IPv6 (inet6) configuration blocks in the interfaces file
in a way that is compatible with the Debian implementation. Do you think
this makes sense?
Ideally, the ifupdown applet would have built-in support for configuring
bonding, bridges, VLANs etc., but for the time being, I plan to use hook
scripts for these purposes.
BR,
