Yes, actually, that does run. It doesn't work entirely properly,
though. As in, it will bring the interface up automatically, but will
not close it.

No: "Usage: /etc/init.d/ifplugd
{start|stop|restart|force-reload|status|suspend|resume}" No option for
arguments.

Okay then:
+ CFG=/etc/default/ifplugd
+ IFPLUGD=/usr/sbin/ifplugd
+ test -x /usr/sbin/ifplugd
++ id -u
+ '[' 0 '!=' 0 ']'
+ '[' -f /etc/default/ifplugd ']'
+ . /etc/default/ifplugd
++ INTERFACES=
++ HOTPLUG_INTERFACES=all
++ ARGS='-q -f -u0 -d10 -w -I'
++ SUSPEND_ACTION=stop
+ VERB=usb0
+ shift
+ '[' 0 -ne 0 ']'
+ '[' x = xauto -o x = xall ']'
+ case "$VERB" in
+ echo 'Usage: /etc/init.d/ifplugd
{start|stop|restart|force-reload|status|suspend|resume}'
Usage: /etc/init.d/ifplugd
{start|stop|restart|force-reload|status|suspend|resume}
+ exit 1

Skipped this part, for reasons outlined above.

Ah, yes :)
Now, here's another thing: For some reason related to kernel upgrades,
I now have a 'zaurus' kernel module. At the moment, not having worked
out the automatic loading/unloading (no real time ATM), I load it by
hand, not wishing to dump it into /etc/modules and forget about it. It
therefore stays loaded regardless of whether or not it's needed. Does
ifplugd care about modules coming and going as required?
Cheers,
