Subject: [PATCH] Add support for ethernet point-to-point connections
64b87c
 configured via DHCP
64b87c
64b87c
When current dracut receives an ip with netmask of 255.255.255.255 via DHCP,
64b87c
setting the also supplied default gateway fails (because it is obviously not
64b87c
within the netmask).
64b87c
64b87c
The setup with a netmask of /32 is quite common in colocation datacenters
64b87c
where you don't want the machines of two different customers to directly talk
64b87c
to each other. At least two of the biggest colocation providers in Germany
64b87c
(1&1 and Strato) do it that way. NetworkManager supports this kind of setup
64b87c
and the dhclient-scripts of several distributions too.
64b87c
64b87c
In this patch I have implemented a simple approach very similar to what is
64b87c
found in Debian. The dhclient-script from Fedora uses a more sophisticated
64b87c
approach, but that relies on the ipcalc utility which would introduce a
64b87c
dependency on Fedora-initscripts for dracut.
