[system-tools] Another possible bug in the network-backend (--set)

[Juan Luis Baptiste <juancho phreaker net>]

Hi,

I'm having a problem when saving the network configuration via the 
network-backend of gst 0.34. When setting the network configuration, the dhcp 
interfaces are being disabled. For example, whe doing:

./network-backend --set < file.xml

where file.xml contains this:


<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE network []>
<network>
 <gateway>192.168.1.1</gateway>
 <gatewaydev>eth0</gatewaydev>
 <hostname>laptop.maeztro.dhis.org</hostname>
 <domain></domain>
 <nameserver>192.168.1.1</nameserver>
 <interface>
  <auto>1</auto>
  <bootproto>dhcp</bootproto>
  <dev>eth0</dev>
  <enabled>1</enabled> <------ it's enabled
  <file>eth0</file>
 </interface>
 <interface>
  <address>192.168.7.101</address>
  <broadcast>192.168.7.255</broadcast>
  <netmask>255.255.255.0</netmask>
  <network>192.168.7.0</network>
  <name>Ethernet Network Device</name>
  <auto>0</auto>
  <bootproto>none</bootproto>
  <dev>eth1</dev>
  <enabled>0</enabled>
  <file>eth1</file>
 </interface>
</network>
<!-- GST: end of request -->

When I run ./network-conf -d list_ifaces right after, this is the output:

<!DOCTYPE network-ifaces []>

<network-ifaces>

  <interface>
    <active>1</active>
    <addr>127.0.0.1</addr>
    <dev>lo</dev>
    <mask>255.0.0.0</mask>
  </interface>

  <interface>
    <active>0</active> <----- yep, it has been disabled!
    <dev>eth1</dev>
    <hwaddr>00:05:3C:07:7A:8A</hwaddr>
  </interface>

  <interface>
    <active>0</active>
    <dev>eth0</dev>
    <hwaddr>00:09:6B:53:FE:90</hwaddr>
  </interface>

</network-ifaces>

<!-- GST: end of request -->

and ifconfig:

[root laptop juancho]# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:09:6B:53:FE:90
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          collisions:0
          RX bytes:429551 (419.4 Kb)  TX bytes:429551 (419.4 Kb)

Could this be a bug?
