Invent a very basic "allow-ifplugd" interfaces(5) class.
The ifplugd udev agent can read /etc/network/interfaces for interfaces
indicated to operate under the "allow-ifplugd" class, thus allowing one to have
ifplugd start, and create meaningful network connections, via ifupdown
configuration alone, without having to list interface in HOTPLUG_INTERFACES of
/etc/default/ifplugd.
A simple /etc/network/interfaces looks like:
allow-ifplugd eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
I find this mode of operation very appealing; with sane ifplugd defaults, only
one config file must be edited to activate plug detection + networking.
The following patch applies on top of the patch sent to #325614 that makes
the ifplugd udev agent script more robust.
Thanks, Kel.
