RHBA-2013:1662 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
python-ethtool bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated python-ethtool packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The python-ethtool packages make the ethtool kernel interface available within
the Python programming environment to allow querying and changing of Ethernet
card settings, such as speed, port, auto-negotiation, and PCI locations.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously, the _haveNetwork() routine from the firstboot.loader module
returned "False" when set up exclusively for IPv6. As a consequence, there was
no network connection. A patch that detects IPv6-only active devices has been
applied, and the _haveNetwork() routine now returns "True" as expected.
(BZ#855920)
- Prior to this update, if more IPv4 addresses were bound to one interface, the
pifconfig script, which displays information about a network interface, failed
to produce the correct output. As a result, two interfaces with the same IPv4
address were reported. A patch has been applied, and the pifconfig script now
reports multiple IPv4 addresses correctly. (BZ#876211)
Users of python-ethtool are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
