Hi, This is already discussed in bug 245785 : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=245785
Check above for proposed solution... More details : The problem with calling ifscheme directly is that it reconfigures the interface, which would make the boot slower. On the other hand, setting the file /etc/network/scheme *before* any network driver is loaded (i.e. before /etc/init.d/networking and /etc/init.d/hotplug) would make sure that when the interface is initially configured, it is with the right scheme. Maybe you could try a boot script like this and report : ------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh PATH=/sbin:/bin test -x /sbin/ifscheme || exit 0 # No boot time scheme assigned if [ -z "$SCHEME" ]; then exit 0; fi # Set default scheme using boot value echo "$SCHEME" >/etc/network/scheme ------------------------------------- Guus : how do you want to manage to boot-script issue ?
