Hi all,
Playing with netcf a bit, I'm hitting an issue with undefining a bridge:
the original interface disappears from the ncftool --list output, and
its ifcfg script is completely gone.
$ sudo cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0
# Networking Interface
DEVICE=wlan0
HWADDR=00:1C:BF:04:29:A4
ONBOOT=no
TYPE=wireless
$ cat netcfbridge.xml
<interface type="bridge" name="testbr0">
<start mode="none"/>
<mtu size="1500"/>
<protocol family="ipv4">
<dhcp/>
</protocol>
<bridge stp="off" delay="0.01">
<interface type="ethernet" name="wlan0">
<mac address="00:1C:BF:04:29:A4"/>
</interface>
</bridge>
</interface>
$ sudo src/ncftool
ncftool> list --all
eth0
lo
wlan0
ncftool> define netcfbridge.xml
Defined interface testbr0
I'd argue that this should have in fact failed, because the
consituent interface in the bridge definition was already a
defined primary interface.
I think netcf should have required the caller to explictly
undefine wlan0 here first, rather than secretly undefining
it as a side-effect of defining testbr0.
This would then obviously mean that when later undefining
testbr0, there would be no question of re-defining wlan0

Daniel
