1Command Incompatibilities
2=========================

4Known incompatibilities with various commands on various distributions, and
5the workarounds we use.

8brctl
9-----
10
11brctl show <bridge> fails on SLES9 SP2.  Workaround is to use brctl show
12without arguments, and grep, though this would be difficult were you to need
13to check for a specific bridge-interface pair, since brctl does not show the
14bridge name on every line.

17ifup / ifdown
18-------------
19
20SuSE requires an extra parameter to ifup, which is created by calling getcfg
21appropriately.  See xen-network-common.sh for details.
22
23Gentoo doesn't have ifup/ifdown; appropriate alternatives are defined in
24xen-network-common.sh.

27ip
28--
29
30Newer ip commands (from iproute2) do not accept the abbreviated syntax "ip r a
31..." etc.  "ip route add ..." must be used instead.
32
33
34sed
35---
36
37\s is not supported in regexps on Debian etch (sed 4.1.2), Ubuntu 4.10.  We
38hand-craft character classes instead.
