Hi,
while I was checking the 1.00.05 upgrade script, I've found one update step the script is doing which was not taking place on my system.
The code is this:
##Change interface config on smb.conf smb_check=`cat /app/etc/samba/smb.conf|grep 'interfaces = eth\*,wlan\*,lo,bond\*'|wc -l` if [ $smb_check -eq 0 ]; then echo "upgrade interface options in smb.conf" >> debug cp /app/etc/samba/smb.conf /app/etc/samba/smb.conf.default /tmp/upgrade sed -r "s/interfaces = eth\*,wlan\*,lo/interfaces = eth*,wlan*,lo,bond*/" /tmp/upgrade/smb.conf > /tmp/smb.conf.p1 > /app/etc/samba/smb.conf sed -r "s/interfaces = eth\*,wlan\*,lo/interfaces = eth*,wlan*,lo,bond*/" /tmp/upgrade/smb.conf.default > /tmp/smb.conf.p1 > /app/etc/samba/smb.conf.default rm -rf /tmp/smb.conf.p1 fi
In other words, the interface "bond*" is added to the "interface = " statement in smb.conf.
Can somebody still running a firmware prior to 1.00.05 post the line conatining the "interface =" statement?
I don't know what the bond interface is, I think it is not needed on the N5200 and I have no idea if this bug is really serious (indeed I don't think so). But I've changed my smb.conf manually and added the bond* interface and I wanted to let you know about this issue.

Typically, bond interfaces are used to 'trunk' or bind the network interfaces together virtually into one channel. Basically so that multiple interfaces appear as one for more aggregate throughput.
