Hi,
First, thank you so much for Busybox. It makes my life very easy I must say.
I'm using Busybox 1.33.1 under Alpine Linux 3.14. The current configuration
should be at this URL:
https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/tree/main/busybox/busyboxconfig?id=1aa6700d1e4ef810f2319506e48a8b5316d17abe
I've read the man page for interfaces from these URLs and they don't all agree
on the supported stanzas:
-
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ifupdown/-/raw/19052e2ecb0a908428813b5bc25d5bd0283c5a18/interfaces.5.pre
- https://manpages.org/etc-network-interfaces/5
- https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/5-interfaces/
I'm likely not the only one to encounter confusion about what stanzas Busybox
does and does not support. I did read the source code and do my best to
determine what is supported. This documentation would cover what is
__natively__ supported since using additional scripts essentially allows
extending the syntax.
I found the following directives so far are not supported and I assume I've
missed some:
- rename
- inherits
- allow- stanzas (e.g.: allow-hotplug)
- no-auto-down
- no-scripts
- description
- template
- source-dir is supported but not source-directory
Please note I'm not requesting any of these stanzas be supported as part of
this bug. It would personally be nice to have rename supported, but I can
understand why others mentioned above are not included.
