[Bug 714904] Re: /etc/network/if-up.d/ifenslave is missing (installed under if-pre-up.d)

[Stefan Bader]

One kind of "problem" I found was that the man page was not particularly
helpful. Though, at least with Natty, the files in
/usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6/... (README.Debian and examples/) are
consistent as far as I can see.

My configuration in Natty (which does not require a modprobe) looks
like:

 /etc/network/interfaces:
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet static (though dhcp should work as well)
  address x
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  gateway y
  bond-slaves none
  bond-mode active-backup
  bond-miimon 100

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
  bond-master bond0
  bond-primary eth0

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
  bond-master bond0
  bond-primary eth0

Title:
  /etc/network/if-up.d/ifenslave is missing (installed under if-pre-
  up.d)

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ifenslave-2.6

  Install of ifenslave-2.6 on both maverick and natty results in
  creation of /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ifenslave.dpkg-new file. This
  file contains the primary bonding config handling script so bonding is
  broken. It appears that it's believed that there's a user generated
  file, which there isn't. The only files are the ones created by the
  package install.
