For maximum performance the MTU of an HSCI interface was set to the value
of the MTU of its HiperSockets interface. However, the MTU of a
HiperSockets interface can be very large, and when the data packets are
not sent over the HiperSocket but over the corresponding ethernet
interface (which usually has a smaller MTU size) then it can happen that
the large packets are silently dropped. One example would be communication
from an HSCI in one CEC to another HSCI in another CEC via Ethernet.
To solve the problem, the MTU setting in this tool is removed, and the
default MTU value is used. Thus, the minimum value of the MTUs of the both
converged interfaces is used as the MTU of the HSCI interface.

Deleting an HSCI interface, the connected HiperSockets interface's name
and the connected Ethernet interface's name are extracted from "ip link
show". Currently the extracted names are directly used in "bridge -d link
show dev ifname" for further checking. If "iflink" and "ifindex" of an
interface are not matched, ip commands will print @ifXX appended to the
real interface's name. Thus, it will be failed if the interface's name
with the ending @ifXX is used in "bridge -d link show dev ifname" for
further checking.
To solve the problem, the ending @ifXX must be removed before the
interface name is used further.

In the current code, after the function check_pnetids() and the function
verify_precon() are called, $? from each function is used twice
successively. It is used for the first time in the condition of the IF
statement, while for the second time as return code of the current
function. In bash, $? can be used to get the return code, but only for
the first time directly after the previous function is called.
Afterwards, $? will be reset to "0". Thus, the right return code can not
be get, if $? is used second time.
To solve the problem, using $? for the second time should be avoided.

hsci is used to control and show HSCI (HiperSockets Converged Interfaces)
settings. A HiperSockets interface and an external network interface are
converged to an HSCI interface.
