reason: after the upgrade of iputils from 20151218 to 20161105
functionality of ping6 and tracepath6 was merged into ping and tracepath.
Ping is now mostly a drop-in replacment for ping6, except that selecting a
specific interface is done by encoding it into the address (ex.: fe80::1%eth0)
rather then specifing it with the `-I` flag.
Since the bonds interface changed to a lot more possible values we create a
mapping of kernel bond attribute names and values to networkd attributes.
Those match for the most part, but have to transformed slightly.
There is also an assert that unknown options won’t slip through silently.
Until now the four attributes available very selectively provided a small
subset, while copying upstream documentation.
We make driver options an arbitrary key-value set and point to kernel
documentation, which is always up-to-date. This way every option can be set.
The four already existing options are deprecated with a warning.
Previously, netdev units for network interfaces defined in the nixos
configurations would bindTo the systemd device unit of the interface if
not in a container.
In situations where you switch to a new nixos configration with changes
to network-setup.service (like nameservers) and have stacked interfaces
like vlans on a bond, it would fail to propagate restarts to the netdevs
correctly resulting with broken networking. The bond would be present
but no vlan interfaces rendering the machine unreachable.
My fear is that the udev events fail to propagate correctly while a systemd
transaction that is also restarting the triggered netdev service is running.
This commit changes this behaviour so netdev services bindTo other netdev
services if present and otherwise fall back to the previous behaviour.
We also noticed that stacked interfaces would sometimes seemingly be stopped
in the wrong order. For instance in the above example, the bond interface
would be deleted before the vlan interfaces resulting in the vlan interfaces
not being present when their service is being stopped. This would cause the
systemd transaction to fail and thus break networking. Their postStop hooks
are now allowed to fail as we have reached the desired state.
Regression introduced by 0cb487ee04.
This changed the result for defaultGateway to be a submodule instead of
just a plain string, so instead of using just cfg.defaultGateway we need
to pass cfg.defaultGateway.address now.

Until now nixos only delivered the latest zfs release. This release is often not
compatible with the latest mainline kernel. Therefor an unstable variant is
added, which might be based on testing releases or git revisions.
fixes#21359
/etc/hostname is the file used by hostnamectl(1) and the
org.freedesktop.hostname1 dbus service (both provided by systemd) to get
the "static hostname". Better provide it so that users of those
tools/services get a proper hostname.
An example of an issue created by the lack of /etc/hostname is that the
bluetooth stack on NixOS identifies itself to peers as "BlueZ $VERSION"
instead of the hostname.

Changes v1 -> v2:
* ensure /etc/hostname ends with a newline
Now the tracking works with aggregated devices on aggregated devices.
So container with physical device where the device is put in a bond
which is the basis for a bridge is now handled correctly.
Test that adding physical devices to containers works, find that network setup
then doesn't work because there is no udev in the container to tell systemd
that the device is present.
Fixed by not depending on the device in the container.
Activate the new container test for release
Bonds, bridges and other network devices need the underlying not as
dependency when used inside the container. Because the device is already
there.
But the address configuration needs the aggregated device itself.
Using types.str doesn't work if you want to mkBefore/mkAfter across
different module definitions, because it only allows for one definition
for the same priority.
This is especially useful if you deploy Hetzner machines via NixOps,
because the physical specification already defines localCommands.
