i also need this, i have a situation where remote equipment is being used in the field, we have "non-technical" engineers who are being asked to occasionally plug in an ethernet cable into equipment that uses incredibly-expensive "roaming" 3G.
as it's remote and in the field it is *not* possible to do console access which would be the normal way to log in and change the metrics or recover the box if the ppp0 is brought down and eth0 brought up in its place. l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
