When run with no arguments, ifplugd defaults to interface eth0. > Here are the non-commented contents of /etc/default/ifplugd: > > INTERFACES="" > HOTPLUG_INTERFACES="all" > ARGS="-q -f -u0 -d10 -w -I" > SUSPEND_ACTION="stop" The ifplugd daemon doesn't read this file, it is sourced by the init script. I'm betting that if you invoke ifplugd with "-i <interface> -q -f -u0 -d10 -w -I" you'll find that it works. This obviously isn't what you want though, it's supposed to be started/stopped automatically, so ... First, try starting it up like like so: /etc/init.d/ifplugd start <interface> You need to specify the additional argument of the interface name for interfaces that fall under HOTPLUG_INTERFACES, (which is all of them in your config). If that fails, then try ... sh -x /etc/init.d/ifplugd start <interface> ... which will produce lots of output which you should paste in your response to this message. Now, if "/etc/init.d/ifplugd start <interface>" *does* work, then run ... ACTION=add INTERFACE=<interface> sh -x /etc/hotplug.d/net/ifplugd.hotplug ... which again will produce lots of output which you should paste/attach in reply to this mail. Note: make sure that you substitute "<interface>" with the name of your interface in all the commands listed above. I look forward to your reply. Regards, -- Eric Evans [EMAIL PROTECTED]
