From e9aa46ab32a45bd7fc0ad32573d1db84f5049554 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Sommerseth Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:30:30 +0200 Subject: Improved IPv6 support As the IPv6 protocol allows a single device to have more than one IPv6 address, the previous implementation did not provide all IPv6 information. It would reject all except the last parsed IPv6 address. NOTE: This implementation will break the previous API. This change removes the ethtool.etherinfo.ipv6_address and ethtool.etherinfo.ipv6_netmask members. A new member is added, ethtool.etherinfo.ipv6_addresses (in plural). This contains a tupple list containing of ethtool.etherinfo_ipv6addr objects, one object for each configured IPv6 address on the device. These objects have the following members available: .address - The IPv6 address .netmask - The IPv6 netmask (in bit notation) .scope - A string with the IPv6 address scope Example code: import ethtool devs = ethtool.get_interfaces_info('eth0') for ip6 in devs[0].ipv6_addresses: print "[%s] %s/%i" % (ip6.scope, ip6.address, ip6.netmask) Signed-off-by: David Sommerseth --- setup.py | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'setup.py') diff --git a/setup.py b/setup.py index aed2186..71b8c70 100644 --- a/setup.py +++ b/setup.py @@ -59,7 +59,8 @@ setup(name='ethtool', sources = [ 'python-ethtool/ethtool.c', 'python-ethtool/etherinfo.c', - 'python-ethtool/etherinfo_obj.c'], + 'python-ethtool/etherinfo_obj.c', + 'python-ethtool/etherinfo_ipv6_obj.c'], include_dirs = libnl['include'], library_dirs = libnl['libdirs'], libraries = libnl['libs'] -- cgit
