Now, my only problem is that I get a long pause of about 30-40 seconds when ifplugd starts up.
To diagnose the problem, I added a script to /etc/ifplugd/action.d which notes the time and the interface and whether it's being brought up or down. The result was:
16:05:24 - eth0 (wired) up 16:06:24 - eth1 (wireless) up 16:06:41 - eth0 (wired) down This happens even when I put wpasupplicant before ifplugd in my rc2.d... Does anyone else get this long pause when using ifplugd on their wireless?Also, is there a way to keep ifplugd from initially bringing up the interfaces? I thought the whole point was for it to only bring them up when it saw a link. What's this "bring it up and then bring it back down" business?
