Command Incompatibilities
=========================
Known incompatibilities with various commands on various distributions, and
the workarounds we use.
brctl
-----
brctl show <bridge> fails on SLES9 SP2. Workaround is to use brctl show
without arguments, and grep, though this would be difficult were you to need
to check for a specific bridge-interface pair, since brctl does not show the
bridge name on every line.
ifup / ifdown
-------------
SuSE requires an extra parameter to ifup, which is created by calling getcfg
appropriately. See xen-network-common.sh for details.
Gentoo doesn't have ifup/ifdown; appropriate alternatives are defined in
xen-network-common.sh.
ip
--
Newer ip commands (from iproute2) do not accept the abbreviated syntax "ip r a
..." etc. "ip route add ..." must be used instead.
sed
---
\s is not supported in regexps on Debian etch (sed 4.1.2), Ubuntu 4.10. We
hand-craft character classes instead.
