Package: ifplugd
Version: 0.26-2.1
Severity: important


If have a laptop with 2 network interfaces: eth0 (realtek Ethernet), 
and eth1 (ipw2200). 

I dist-upgraded from sarge to testing (etch). Everything seemed to work right 
after upgrade. Then, I installed ifplugd.

After several trials, I have configured ifplugd to manage eth0 eth1 as 
"HOTPLUG_INTERFACES". The reason is ifplugd cannot detect link beat for eth1 
(although the wireless network is properly configured, wpa_supplicant, etc...
may be that is another bug...). Interface eth0 is correctly detected if I use 
"INTERFACES", all this bug request comes from wanting eth1 to be detected.

I have also added the required "allow-hotplug eth0" "allow-hotplug eth1" lines 
to my /etc/network/interfaces.


Well, the point is with that if-up / if-down never get called when a link
goes up/down. In fact, they become "up" at boot time and remain in that state 
unless I directly perform if-up / if-down. Link beats get correctly detected
though (now including eth1 --> that's why I want this "hotplug" config). 

If I configure eth0 to be in "INTERFACES" and eth1 to be in 
"HOTPLUG_INTERFACES" the problem remains, now only for eth1 (if-up / if-down 
never called on eth1).

I have read bug 334876, and it seems this may be related to that (I suspect 
ifplugd script for hotplug - now udev - never gets called). However, it seems
my current version of ifplugd includes patch to solve that bug?

Therefore, I have no clue about this behaviour. Any ideas?
