Lately I went out with this patch, which is far simpler:
/etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules
-#SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", GOTO="net_start"
+SUBSYSTEM=="net", GOTO="net_start"
by the way, this is how the script appeared in dapper.
I don't know what can be broken by removing the DRIVERS line
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ifupdown
DESCRIPTION:
The script /etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules does not allow udev to invoke
ifdown when a network PCMCIA card is removed. On subsequent reinsertion of the
card, ifup refuses to run because it thinks that the status is still 'UP'.
** Attachment added: "With this patch the ifdown is invoked properly"
