Well, since *I* have not said it *was* ifplugd I don't doubt you might be right. Also *my* idea of immediately prior might well be different than yours, in as much as alot of pcmcia nics had problems working with the scripting across MANY versions of Mandrake, i.e. this was problem for a long time.

Well I did send it in to this list more than once, Apparently the internet is having ALOT of problems this weekend with email and you may not have seen it. I even sent it to you directly. (And my outgoing mail is just fine.) I will tell you again and specifically; DEVICE=eth0, BOOTPROTO=dhcp, NETMASK=255.255.255.0, ONBOOT=yes, NEEDHOSTNAME=yes . Um, just for the record, I am *NOT* interested in figuring this out. If that wasn't obvious, please let me be specific. This is troubleshooting info for the maintainer(s) that have been changing scripts and/or modifying packages. I was hoping that a maintainer would use the information I was turning in. Are you one of these maintainers ? If not, then please just be gracious and let me post the information I have. ANY information can be useful to a maintainer. Earlier you said this was antedotal (which is more than debatable) and of no use. I seriously doubt that. Finally if you don't want to help troubleshoot this problem, that is more than fine with me. I (again as stated in an earlier posting) can just make the need changes myself, as I did custom scripting for this before and I am content to do so again. I think unless there is something relevant to discuss further here and you are a maintainer wanting to deal with this, I would say this thread has run its course, long ago, as nothing useful has come out of it, other than my original intention to alert the relevant maintainers and some interesting input from Adam W.
