Interfaces are "created" every puppet run about puppet-network HOT 5 CLOSED

Actually if I leave the daemon running rather than restarting it different sets of log messages pop up:

@ddcrjlalumiere sorry for the slow response on this; which version of puppet-network are you using? Is this a recent bug that occurred when it previously worked?

from puppet-network.

I believe this behavior has been present since I started using the module (version 0.40). Presently I'm using commit 206c2d7.

from puppet-network.

@ddcrjlalumiere sorry for the delay in response... it's been a really long month. I think that the issue with interfaces constantly being renamed is due to hash ordering; are you using Ruby 1.8.7 on this machine?

And to confirm #38 has been resolved to your satisfaction, so the main issue is the ordering in the file changing?

Issue hasn't seen an update in 2 years, closing for lack of activity.
