Hi Folks,
I have some kind of a nasty problem.
I have a small server with 3 Lan ports - however - when I don't need the Local
LAN - I do also power-down the Switch. This is however a problem - as ifplugd
performs a Interface shutdown - and for some apps to work correctly - the
Interface needs an IP address.
So - I defined what Interfaces the ifplugd should take care of in
/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.conf (eth2 - DHCP Cable Network), and want it to ignore
other ones.
No go... As soon as I unplug the eth0 cable - the device IP address is
removed. I have circumvented this issue by deactivating the ifplugd stuff to
be used completely (removing the if-statement in rc.d/init.d/networks using
ifplugd) - at least - everything is working as it should - but this should
not happen IMHO.
Anyone knows a better way ???
Cheers
Joerg

be discarded: that the whole point is to always see it as a soap bubble?
