That's not the way the modules line works. The modules line supplements |
| 10 |
the built in defaults. For example, I use pump and ifplugd and my modules |
| 11 |
line is simply: |
| 12 |
modules_eth0=( "pump" ) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The modules you've specified will be used for their service (in this case, |
| 15 |
dhcp) and the defaults, if available, will be used for other services. |
| 16 |
Were this not the case, I'd have to specify: |
| 17 |
modules_eth0=( "ifconfig" "ifplugd" "pump" ) |
| 18 |
or similar, listing a module for each service. That are at least 3 net |
| 19 |
services I know of: |
| 20 |
configuration: either ifconfig or iproute2 |
| 21 |
link-detection: none, ifplugd, or netplug |
| 22 |
DHCP: none, dhclient, dhcpcd, or pump (and possibly others) |
| 23 |
and there are probably more services. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If you want to use dhcp via pump and turn off link-detection entirely, |
| 26 |
you'd have to use a modules line of: |
| 27 |
modules_$iface=( "pump" "!plug" ) |
| 28 |
