[PATCH] connman: Ignore eth0 cleanup when booting over the network

[PATCH] connman: Ignore eth0 cleanup when booting over the network

[Saul Wold]

There was a change to connman, such that it cleans up the
route table for devices at startup, this was causing the
network to get lost and NFS to loose it connection.

The -I option will cause the device to be ignored.

Apart from the missing PR bump, what happens when you don't boot of the network? Will connman keep ignoring eth0?
FWIW I asked about nfsroot and connman and Marcel said: don't do that! So I'm inclined to say that if you're using nfsroot you shouldn't be using connman.

What if there are multiple network interfaces, but just one (eth0, usb0, 
...) is the nfsroot provider?

Is there a way to determine which interface nfs is active on and only 
ignore that one?

I am going to disable connmand for now in a v2 patch, but I think we 
need to address this better either via connman or here in oe-core.

Sau!

What about other devices where eht0 is not available but rndis0 for
example which has to be ignored?

As of right we have this fix for several machines in meta-smartphone
already ignoring rndis0 and usb0.
