== Introduction to ifplugd ==

'''ifplugd''' is a Linux daemon which will automatically configure your ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically unconfigure it if the cable is pulled. This is useful on laptops with onboard network adapters, since it will only configure the interface when a cable is really connected.

With the clfs-bootscripts, you will get an ethernet connection if the cable is connected when you boot, but otherwise will not - even if you connect the cable later. With '''ifplugd''', you will have a connection whenever the cable is connected - regardless of whether it was connected on boot or how many times you unplug and plug it back in after booting.

'''ifplugd''' also works with wireless devices. See http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/ifplugd/ for more details.

== Dependencies ==

=== Required ===
* [[Libdaemon]]
=== Optional ===
* [[xmltoman]] (for rebuilding the man pages)
* [[subversion]] (for rebuilding svn-release.h)
* [[lynx]] (for regenerating the README)

== Additional Configuration Options ==

If you don't have lynx installed, pass the following flag to configure:

--disable-lynx

If you don't have xmltoman installed, pass the following flag to configure:

--disable-xmltoman

If you don't have subversion installed, pass the following flag to configure:

--disable-subversion

Nothing bad happens if you don't have one of the optional packages and you forget to pass the disabling flag, but configure will complain with a warning.

== Non-Multilib ==

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --sbindir=/sbin
make

Install the package:

make install

Remove unnecessary links from the clfs-bootscripts:

rm -v /etc/rc.d/*/K80network
rm -v /etc/rc.d/*/S20network

You won't need it, so you can removed the actual network script if you want, but then if you decide you want it, then you'll have to reinstall it from the clfs-bootscripts package.

rm -v /etc/rc.d/init.d/network

Create the links necessary to have ifplugd actually run:

ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K80ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S20ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S20ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S20ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S20ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K80ifplugd

Alter /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action so that it points to the correct location for the '''ifdown''' and '''ifup''' scripts:

sed -i 's@/sbin/@/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/@g' /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action

=== Command Explanations ===

''--sysconfdir=/etc'': We use this flag because the default is /usr/etc which you probably don't want to happen.

''--sbindir=/sbin'': We use this flag because the default is /usr/sbin and you may want '''ifplugd''' to be available even when /usr is on another partition.

'''rm -v ....''': The ifplugd script effectively replaces clfs-bootscripts' network script, so we need to remove the network script (or at least its links in /etc/rc.d/rcX.d) so that they won't try to run.

'''ln -sv ....''': We need to have links in the /etc/rc.d/rcX.d directories in order for ifplugd to run.

'''sed -i ....''': ifplugd.action points to /sbin for the '''ifdown''' and '''ifup''' scripts, but on clfs systems, they reside in /etc/sysconfig/network-devices, so we need to redirect it.

== Multilib ==
'''''This package does not provide any libraries so only one installation is needed.'''''

=== 32Bit ===

Compile the package:

./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" \
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc --sbindir=/sbin
make

Install the package:

make install

Remove unnecessary links from the clfs-bootscripts:

rm -v /etc/rc.d/*/K80network
rm -v /etc/rc.d/*/S20network

You won't need it, so you can removed the actual network script if you want, but then if you decide you want it, then you'll have to reinstall it from the clfs-bootscripts package.

rm -v /etc/rc.d/init.d/network

Create the links necessary to have ifplugd actually run:

ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K80ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S20ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S20ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S20ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S20ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K80ifplugd

Alter /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action so that it points to the correct location for the '''ifdown''' and '''ifup''' scripts:

sed -i 's@/sbin/@/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/@g' /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action

=== N32 ===

Compile the package:

./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32}" \
CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" --prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib32 \
--sysconfdir=/etc --sbindir=/sbin
make

Install the package:

make install

Remove unnecessary links from the clfs-bootscripts:

rm -v /etc/rc.d/*/K80network
rm -v /etc/rc.d/*/S20network

You won't need it, so you can removed the actual network script if you want, but then if you decide you want it, then you'll have to reinstall it from the clfs-bootscripts package.

rm -v /etc/rc.d/init.d/network

Create the links necessary to have ifplugd actually run:

ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K80ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S20ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S20ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S20ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S20ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K80ifplugd

Alter /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action so that it points to the correct location for the '''ifdown''' and '''ifup''' scripts:

sed -i 's@/sbin/@/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/@g' /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action

=== 64Bit ===

Compile the package:

./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" \
CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" --prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib64 \
--sysconfdir=/etc --sbindir=/sbin
make

Install the package:

make install

Remove unnecessary links from the clfs-bootscripts:

rm -v /etc/rc.d/*/K80network
rm -v /etc/rc.d/*/S20network

You won't need it, so you can removed the actual network script if you want, but then if you decide you want it, then you'll have to reinstall it from the clfs-bootscripts package.

rm -v /etc/rc.d/init.d/network

ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc1.d/K80ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S20ifplugd

ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S20ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S20ifplugd
ln -sv ../init.d/ifplugd /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K80ifplugd

Alter /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action so that it points to the correct location for the '''ifdown''' and '''ifup''' scripts:

sed -i 's@/sbin/@/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/@g' /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action

== Configuring ifplugd ==

=== Configuration File ===

/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.conf

=== Configuration Information ===

In ifplugd.conf, set INTERFACES to the network interfaces that you have on your computer (e.g. eth0).

Also, if you want to pass '''ifplugd''' parameters other than the defaults, you need to set ARGS (also within ifplugd.conf) to the parameters that you actually want. However, the defaults are probably sufficient.
