Ok, let's step back a bit. The only change between 0.26-2 and 0.26-2.1 was to correct the location of /lib/udev/hotplug.functions. Since your bug report indicated that you are using hotplug for all your interfaces, I assumed that this was probably where the problem lie, but perhaps that isn't the case. In your original report you also indicated that you ran ifplugd manually without success. What are aguments are you supplying when you do this? Can you tell me if anything is being logged, (/var/log/syslog), or if there is any output in dmesg? Can you try running ifplugd with strace, (i.e. strace -f ifplugd ... ), and attaching the output in a reply to the bug report? > In case it helps, this is the gdb report: > > (gdb) start > Function "main" not defined. > > Now, I know very little about programming, but this strikes me as a bad thing. How did you invoke gdb to arrive at this? Regards, -- Eric Evans [EMAIL PROTECTED]
