* Specifying a Client Network Interface
35
At boot time the network interfaces to use will by default be
36
automatically detected. If this should result in incorrect
37
interfaces, edit the DEVICE setting in the
38
"/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf" file. (The default setting is
39
empty, meaning it will autodetect the interface.) *If* the DEVICE
40
setting is changed, it will be necessary to update the initrd image
41
by running the command

Note that since the network interfaces are used in the initial RAM
52
disk environment, the network interfaces *must* exist at that stage.
53
Thus, an interface can *not* be a pseudo-interface such as "br0" or
54
"tun0"; instead, only real interfaces (such as "eth0") can be used.

This can be overcome by writing a "network hook" program to create
56
an interface (see mandos-client(8mandos)) and placing it in
55
the interface (see mandos-client(8mandos)) and placing it in
57
56
"/etc/mandos/network-hooks.d", from where it will be copied into the
58
57
initial RAM disk. Example network hook scripts can be found in

"/usr/share/doc/mandos-client/examples/network-hooks.d".
