Bug#551881: RFA: ifplugd -- configuration daemon for ethernet devices
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I no longer use ifplugd and request an adopter for the package. I am willing
to sponsor updated packages. In case nobody ITAs it in a month or so, I will
orphan the package.
The package description is:
ifplugd is a daemon which will automatically configure your ethernet device
when a cable is plugged in and automatically de-configure it if the cable is
pulled out. This is useful on laptops with onboard network adapters, since it
will only configure the interface when a cable is really connected. Features
include:
.
* syslog support
* Multiple ethernet interface support
* Uses Debian's native ifup/ifdown programs
* Small executable size and memory footprint
* Option to beep when the cable is unplugged or plugged
* Option to beep when the interface configuration succeeds or fails
* Can be configured to ignore short unplugged or plugged periods
* Configure WLAN devices (on detecting a successful association to an AP)
* Supports SIOCETHTOOL, SIOCGMIIREG and SIOCDEVPRIVATE for getting link status
* Compatibility mode for network devices which do not support cable detection
The software is quite stable and needs updation for various suspend/resume
software scripts, for debconf translations and policy updates once in a while
(there hasn't been an upstream release since 2005). There are a couple of
patches in the Debian tree that should go upstream (I wrote to upstream and
they indicated that the patches would be integrated but that hasn't happened).
There are a few bugs that could do with some attention.
