rc.d/sysctl fails to parse sysctl.conf

[Andreas Nilsson]

Hello,

I tried to get my sound working, and long story short: rc.d/sysctl parses
sysctl.conf wrongly if there are sysctls of the form

mib=val1=val2

which is what you need for sound. For reference I needed/wanted

dev.hdaa.4.nid25_config=as=1,seq=15
dev.hdaa.4.nid31_config=as=1

I believe the following patch would address the incorrect parsing:

--- /etc/rc.d/sysctl.old        2013-02-27 22:00:00.000000000 +0100

-                               mib=${var%=*}

                                val=${var#*=}

                                if current_value=`${SYSCTL} -n ${mib}
2>/dev/null`; then


Best regards
