Package: ifplugd Version: 0.26-2.1 Severity: important
If have a laptop with 2 network interfaces: eth0 (realtek Ethernet), and eth1 (ipw2200). I dist-upgraded from sarge to testing (etch). Everything seemed to work right after upgrade. Then, I installed ifplugd. After several trials, I have configured ifplugd to manage eth0 eth1 as "HOTPLUG_INTERFACES". The reason is ifplugd cannot detect link beat for eth1 (although the wireless network is properly configured, wpa_supplicant, etc... may be that is another bug...). Interface eth0 is correctly detected if I use "INTERFACES", all this bug request comes from wanting eth1 to be detected. I have also added the required "allow-hotplug eth0" "allow-hotplug eth1" lines to my /etc/network/interfaces. Well, the point is with that if-up / if-down never get called when a link goes up/down. In fact, they become "up" at boot time and remain in that state unless I directly perform if-up / if-down. Link beats get correctly detected though (now including eth1 --> that's why I want this "hotplug" config). If I configure eth0 to be in "INTERFACES" and eth1 to be in "HOTPLUG_INTERFACES" the problem remains, now only for eth1 (if-up / if-down never called on eth1). I have read bug 334876, and it seems this may be related to that (I suspect ifplugd script for hotplug - now udev - never gets called). However, it seems my current version of ifplugd includes patch to solve that bug? Therefore, I have no clue about this behaviour.
