Package: ifplugd
Version: 0.28-15
Severity: important
ifplugd ignores eth0 at boot time, making it rather useless.
Here's what is in the /var/log/boot file:
Wed Oct 7 03:53:40 2009: Network Interface Plugging Daemon...start eth0...done.
and in the /var/log/daemon.log file:
Oct 7 03:53:43 xvii ifplugd(eth0)[1781]: Link beat detected.
Oct 7 03:53:43 xvii ifplugd(eth0)[1781]: Executing
'/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action eth0 up'.
Oct 7 03:53:43 xvii ifplugd(eth0)[1781]: client: Ignoring unknown interface
eth0=eth0.
Oct 7 03:53:43 xvii ifplugd(eth0)[1781]: Program executed successfully.
When I did a "/etc/init.d/ifplugd restart" after the boot, I got
as expected:
Oct 7 03:56:54 xvii ifplugd(eth0)[1781]: Exiting.
Oct 7 03:56:57 xvii ifplugd(eth0)[3423]: ifplugd 0.28 initializing.

Oct 7 03:56:57 xvii ifplugd(eth0)[3423]: Initialization complete, link beat

Where is there no "ifplugd 0.28 initializing" at boot time?

I'm closing this bug since it may be a $PATH problem, at least in
my case: ifup doesn't find guessnet-wrapper, which is located in
/usr/local/sbin, hence the usual message "Ignoring unknown interface
eth0=eth0" (unfortunately, ifup doesn't report the real error about
the script not found, that's why this wasn't clear).
The problem doesn't occur when I run /etc/init.d/ifplugd restart"
manually as at this time, $PATH contains /usr/local/sbin.
I'm not sure, because other users have also problems at boot time
(bug 322324). But as netplug should be more reliable, I don't use
ifplugd and I haven't tested.
