The role of guessnet is to help ifup to understand which among various available configurations should be used for an interface, not to bring up the interface. The job of bringing up the interface belongs to ifupdown. It goes like this: # ifup eth0 ifupdown asks guessnet: "which profile should I use for eth0?" ...guessnet scans... guessnet replies ifupdown: "use profile Foobar" ifupdown brings eth0 up using profile Foobar If you want an automatic system that brings up the network as you plug it, then have a look at ifplugd: it will invoke ifup and ifdown when you plug or unplug the cable. ifupdown+guessnet+ifplugd makes for a nice automatic system for transparent reconfiguration of the network. If it's not a misunderstanding, then I'm not understanding what is that isn't working for you and I need more help. Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
