# 20201120_NetworkManager-Fixes

- *initrd: defaulting to DHCP on vlan sub interfaces
- https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/509
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1903175
- Would be nice to get it into 4.7
- Fixed upstream in nm-1-26 and newer
- *initrd: vlan DEV_PLUS_VID form can throw off ip= parsing
- https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/581
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1898294
- Need to go into OCP 4.7 (current bug in 4.6)
- *initrd: can't disable NICs during boot
- https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/539
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1883958
- Put this in F33 as well
- Need it to go into OCP 4.7 so our customers don't have a regression
- This would change behavior for RHEL customers during a point release
- -don't take down vlan if parent interface doesn't get configured
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1900038
- -dhcp: gracefully handle overlong host name values (option 12)
- https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/572
- and the followup work going on with Luca Bruno
- Clarify with Luca if the case of hostname truncated to the first dot > 63 chars can happen
- Would be nice to get this into Fedora soon if possible
- Check with Luca to see the need for 4.7
- +Retry DHCP until success when ran in in the initramfs
- https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/559
- maybe use autoconnect 1 time in the initrd only
- add support for rd.net.dhcp.retry=infinity?
- determine if we need rd.net.dhcp.retry (probably not based on our discussion)
- internally NM only supports one timeout option
- nm-initrd-generator supports both
- set the timeout to timeout*retries
- -initrd: add failure mode to `nm-initrd-generator` for invalid input
- https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/510
- How can we detect when `nm-initrd-generator` has failed?
