Added dependency on 3452 --- seems closely related since that's another problem
with ifplugd causing network startup to fail. In general what's needed seems to
be some facility to recover from ifplugd's failure to commission an interface.
It would be nice if drakconnect would notice such problems. It might also be
nice to have some kind of network debugging wizard that would help fix such
problems.
Also, note that if you put MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=0 in the file (or for that matter,
ANY value for this flag), /etc/rc.d/init.d/network will treat it the same. See
my comments in bug 3452.

description:
I have a Xircom Symphony wireless card (unsupported by Mandrake) for eth1. The kernel
module gets loaded during the boot (ifconfig eth1 show the interface, but without an
IP
address), but the network doesn't come up until I enter "ifup eth1" at a shell.
/var/log/messages shows
