retitle 345751 monitoring nonexistent interface causes system hickups severity 345751 important thanks
The problem applies to all processes running, including background processes that are niced way below 0. I suspect an interrupt problem, which ifplugd really should not be causing. It's up for discussion whether the bug is that ifplugd fails to properly shut down when an interface is removed, or whether it should be able to monitor nonexistent interfaces better, but the current situation is just not acceptable. I run into this problem a lot when users turn off wireless or after they cut a bluetooth PPP session with the laptop, and root access is required to get the system back to usable. If I could, I'd make this problem release-critical. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer and author: http://debiansystem.info `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system
