Actually my script executed by cron was installed on another machine, and I installed it on my laptop only last month (though I initially wrote it mainly for my laptop!). That's why I wasn't seeing any problem until now. > > I can't remember ever having modified /etc/init.d/networking but I > > find I also have /etc/init.d/networking.dpkg-old.

This was due to netplug: it sets the eth* devices up at boot time via its "probe" rule in order to load the drivers. Unfortunately netplug doesn't log anything by default (I added logging messages for the "in" and "out" rules in the past to check that it actually worked, but I hadn't done that for the "probe" rule). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
