Package: ifrename Version: 27-2 Severity: normal
ifrename is only run on startup if the hotplug package is also installed. Failure to run at startup means that network interfaces acquire their default eth0, eth1 etc. labels, and not those specified in /etc/iftab Running 'ifrename' manually after booting allocates the correct interface names. hotplug includes the script /etc/hotplug/net.agent which appears to run during system boot. The ifrename package does not depend on hotplug: perhaps it should? -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8-smp Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages ifrename depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libiw27 27-2 Wireless tools - library -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
