Doing it with debian sarge. Problem is the normal network scripts use ifconfig and route. In my tests I did a simple setup script. Feel like I am reinventing the wheel :-) Is it OK to use the network scripts to setup the interface and then remove the routes ifconfig created and add any needed routes with ip commands? Or am I best setting up the connections from scratch? Also related is some of interfaces are dynamic. I ran rewrite dhclient-script or just rebuild routes in dhclient-exit-hooks.d. Also dhcpd-script gives new_subnet_mask=......... new_ip_address=.... new_network_number=...... interface=eth2 But for ip route need the length part of new_network_number/length Is there a simple way to calculate length from new_subnet_mask ?
