Hey Adam and the gang; Yes, in fact ifplugd starts and successfully determines the eth0 info (after dhclient DHCPACKS from the server).
Then, as you suggest, ifplugd about a minute (or so) later brings down the interface (eth0), and then exits. If I then execute: /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action eth0 up (from a prompt), the interface successfully comes up and works fine from that point forward. So it appears that when your situation was remedied concerning ifplugd, mine was broken. Anyways....it has remained broken for the past week, and the bugzilla is hosed, so I guess this amounts to the bug report.
