Which means that your network interface wouldn't come up automatically when you changed hardware either, so that's not exactly better than the udev solution in that respect. :)
Seems to me udev is only tangentially related to this discussion and what some people in this thread actually want is wildcards for interfaces (* or eth* or wlan* or whatever) in /etc/network/interfaces. Or alternatively some other flexibility in which interfaces to use, hopefully netconf will be ready to do that and replace ifupdown for lenny. I missed such a feature a lot when I was travelling through Asia with only an external USB hard drive with Debian on it and booting it from people's laptops (with wireless) and internet cafe computers. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
