#ifstate 1.13.4 was released:
https://codeberg.org/liske/ifstate/releases/tag/1.13.4

(already available in @alpinelinux edge + 3.21 + 3.20 + 3.19 and in @m4rc3l's Nix flake https://codeberg.org/m4rc3l/ifstate.nix)

This maintenance release includes a single fix for the configuration of sysctl settings. The bug prevented ifstate from changing more than a single sysctl setting at a time.

#TIL sysctl net.ipv4.conf.all.promote_secondaries

When enabled (it is not by default) one can remove the primary (read: first assigned) ipv4 address of an interface w/o removing all other assigned ipv4 addresses. This may help when you need to renumber remotely…
(…and do not have some declarative network configuration tool like #ifstate ;-)

I noticed that the Alpine Linux kernel had CONFIG_IPV6_OPTIMISTIC_DAD not set.

Opened an issue in @alpinelinux Gitab https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/16799 today.

Fixed by @ncopa a short time later* for Alpine 3.21

Rebuild my Alpine ISO image and upgraded the routers in the evening where I missed this features.

Wow that was incredibly fast, I'm still feeling quite dizzy. I am very grateful

*) we talked about it on IRC and Linux 6.12.8 was just to be packaged

Am I correct in thinking that #Ubuntu's default networking configuration, for a non-server install, uses both #NetworkManager for network configuration management and #Systemd Resolved as a local stub DNS resolver?

Because that's how my workstation apparently works, and I don't remember doing anything to configure it that way explicitly.

And what an unholy fucking mess.

#ifstate 1.13.0 was released:
https://codeberg.org/liske/ifstate/releases/tag/1.13.0

(available in @alpinelinux edge + 3.20 + 3.19 and in @m4rc3l's Nix flake https://codeberg.org/m4rc3l/ifstate.nix)

Among other minor changes one major change is the refactoring of the vrrp-fifo action (which allows to use ifstate with keepalived's vrrp_notify_fifo_script option). This fixes a race condition breaking ip failover when using more than a single vrrp groups or instances with a netns were used.

#ifstate 1.12.0 was released:
https://codeberg.org/liske/ifstate/releases/tag/1.12.0

(available in @alpinelinux edge + 3.20 + 3.19)

The config schema has two small extensions:
- add missing bind_netns support for sit tunnels
- support Distributed Switch Architecture (DSA) interfaces that (e.g. available on Banana Pi)

Bugfixes found in this release:
- ipv6 addresses disabled by DAD are now reconfigured
- handle missing /dev/log (e.g. for #NixOS initrd support)

#ifstate 1.11.8 was released:
https://codeberg.org/liske/ifstate/releases/tag/1.11.8

(available in @alpinelinux edge + 3.19)

This is yet another bugfix release fixes an exception in wgnlpy if a peer has a dns based endpoint which does not resolve.

#ifstate 1.11.2 has been released:
https://github.com/liske/ifstate/releases/tag/1.11.2

(available in @alpinelinux edge)

Since ifstate 1.9 the vrrp-fifo action to be used with #keepalived was completely broken . On @alpinelinux it only had affected the edge branch.

#ifstate 1.11.0 has been released:
https://github.com/liske/ifstate/releases/tag/1.11.0

(available in @alpinelinux edge)

With this release it is possible to add ethtool default settings for interfaces and configure routes and rules conditional for vrrp setups (to be used with #keepalived).

It also fixes not working settings for `ethtool --change` (speed, duplex etc.).

ifstate 1.9.0 has been released:
https://github.com/liske/ifstate/releases/tag/1.9.0

This version adds netns superpowers!

All features can now be used in network namespaces and the master and link options got netns support. For example, it is now possible to attach (|ip|mac)vlan sub-interfaces across network namespace boundaries.

Giving up for today trying to get #8021x (via ethernet, only using credentials, no certificates) working on #NixOS using #wpa_suplicant and #NetworkManager authing against a #UniFi infrastructure...

The debug output from both, NetworkManager, and (especially) wpa_supplicant is quite useless in this regard, as it focuses on technical mumble-jumble that might be useful to someone knees-deep into #RADIUS, but helps zero when it comes to a regular admin trying to get this working.

ifstate 1.8.2 has been released:
https://github.com/liske/ifstate/releases/tag/1.8.2

This release fixes a crash of istate if a referenced physical interface was missing. Adds support for configuring link device groups (IFLA_GROUP).
