There is no means of enabling or disabling the ifplugd service that I have found, because there is no /etc/init.d/ifplugd script. Once installed ifplugd always starts at boot and daemonizes, configuring or tearing down connections as a link is detected or lost. To make it clearer, this is how it used to work on two laptops: I install ifplugd and remove from rc-update any net.<iface> that I have configured. ifplugd will always start at boot as a daemon and will bring up and configure the wired NIC once a cable is detected. There is no start up script in /etc/init.d/ installed by default, although the man page mentions it, along with /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.conf, which is also not installed. This is the only file that installed on my systems: # find /etc -iname *ifplug* /etc/ifplugd /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action I started this thread because recently I have to start my wired interface manually, after which point ipfplugd also starts, daemonizes and manages the connection. This is not how it used to work - I never had to start the wired interface myself. Furthermore, starting ifplugd on a terminal now shows that it is listening on eth0 instead of enp11s0, but hadn't tried this before things broke. According to the man page eth0 is the default, but I can't recall manually specifying a different interface for ifplugd in the past. It always brought up the wired interface, no matter what it was called. -- Regards, Mick
