Run manually, with no arguments at all. There is nothing in dmesg or syslog following 'invoke-rc.d ifplugd start'. After 'ifplugd', Syslog has the following: Mar 14 20:56:04 ijtihad ifplugd(eth0)[9891]: ifplugd 0.26 initializing. Mar 14 20:56:04 ijtihad ifplugd(eth0)[9891]: Using interface eth0 Mar 14 20:56:04 ijtihad ifplugd(eth0)[9891]: Failed to detect plug status of eth0 Mar 14 20:56:04 ijtihad ifplugd(eth0)[9891]: Exiting. WTF??? Here are the non-commented contents of /etc/default/ifplugd: INTERFACES="" HOTPLUG_INTERFACES="all" ARGS="-q -f -u0 -d10 -w -I" SUSPEND_ACTION="stop" I did no configuring by hand of ifplugd the first time I used it, and did no configuring by hand following the ugprade, after I purged and reinstalled. > Can you try running ifplugd with strace, (i.e. strace -f ifplugd ... ), > and attaching the output in a reply to the bug report?

To the best of my knowledge, I never have had an eth0. After switching to udev - I'm not sure about before - I don't even have any /dev/eth* entries. Cheers, JH
