It was found that some distros do not ship with a regulatory.db file.
This is required to run some of the autotests, and if not found on the
system the kernel build will fail due to some of the IWD config
options which require regulatory.db.
The fix is to manually download regulatory.db from git.kernel.org and
place it in /lib/firmware.
The IPv6 default route needs to be explicitly revoked. Unlike in IPv4,
there is no SRC address associated with the route and it will not be
removed on address removal.
The network configuration options for IPv6 are grouped under [IPv6]
and include the following:
ip= ADDRESS/PREFIX
gateway=ADDRESS
dns=ADDRESS
The placeholders for DHCPv6 are placed along the way and marked
as TODO items.
Previously, netconfig_ipv4_select_and_install was used to install
addresses on initial connection to a network and after we have roamed.
Now for the after roaming connection scenario we have
netconfig_reconfigure. Remove roaming related code from
netconfig_ipv4_select_and_install
As part of the de-coupling from station object, switch all of
the network settings inquiries to use active_settings. active_settings
are set with netconfig_configure by the owner of netconfig object
and removed with netconfig_reset once network disconnects.
Instead of relying on station state changed signal, netconfig
introduces three new API calls to configure, re-configure and
reset the network configurations. The owner of netconfig object
is responsible for initiating the re-configuration of the device
depending on its state.
As a first step to enable the usage of netconfig in ead and
prospective transition to be a part of ell, the public API for
creation and destruction of the netconfig objects has been
renamed and changed. Instead of hiding the netconfig objects inside
of netconfig module, the object is now passed back to the caller.
The internal queue of netconfig objects remains untouched, due
to limitations in ell’s implementation of rtnl. After the proper
changes are done to ell, netconfig_list is expected to be removed
from netconfig module.
This makes every full test run consistent. The test list was being
stored as a hashmap, which has no been changed to a queue so we can
insert each test sorted.
