Package: guessnet
Version: 0.33-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer!
I wanted to use guessnet but found that in ifupdownmode it is not
accepting any candidates.
If I have the following guessnet.conf file:
--------------- 8< -----------------
foobar peer a.b.c.d xx.yy.zz.aa.bb.cc e.f.g.h
--------------- 8< -----------------
and I call guessnet
guessnet -v -C guessnet.conf
I get:
guessnet: 1 candidate profiles
guessnet: Starting test subsystem
guessnet: Sending 10 ARP probes, 1 every second...
foobar
But then I put this into the interfaces:
mapping eth0
script guessnet-ifupdown
map foobar
map timeout: 3
map debug: 1
map verbose: true
iface foobar inet static
address e.f.g.h
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway a.b.c.d
dns-search .....
dns-nameserver .....
test peer a.b.c.d xx.yy.zz.aa.bb.cc e.f.g.h
and I call
guessnet-ifupdown -v
it awaits an input, pressing Ctrl-D I get:
guessnet: 0 candidate profiles
No candidates provided: skipping detection
none
If I make
cat interfaces | guessnet-ifupdown -v
I get the same. With --debug:
guessnet: 0 candidates found in input
guessnet: Guessnet 0.33 starting...
guessnet: Trying MII detection
guessnet: 0 candidate profiles
guessnet: Trying MII detection
guessnet: Initialized test subsystems
guessnet: Added "default" test none
guessnet: Default test is none
guessnet: Started tests
No candidates provided: skipping detection
none
I also tried using
peer a.b.c.d mac xx.yy.zz.aa.bb.cc source e.f.g.h
etc, but with the same effect.
I also tried to give guessnet-ifupdown the virtual interface name on the
input, with no effect.
Thanks a lot for any hints wether I did something wrong or there is a
bug.
One comment: It is unclear from the manpage wether the peer test
contains the keywords `mac' and `source'. In the guessnet mode ther are
no keywords besides peer, in the interface mode there are. In the
Descripition of the supported tests there are the keywords, too. But the
only way I got it to see the right interface was without keywords.
Strange.
