As far as I understood, you now start ifplugd using the associated net.* init script. Openrc will detect that ifplugd is installed and then wait until a cable is plugged, plus starting an instance listening on the device. > 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.

Since I do no longer use openrc I cannot confirm how the rest of the services react to and activated net.* init script if ifplugd is active through the plugin. I suppose dependent scripts should only be triggered after the cable is plugged in. This is also why there is no config file: Its configured dynamically through the plugin and the interface specific init script. > 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.

You may need to start and stop network dependent service through ifplugd.action instead of enabling them statically through openrc. But again: I'm not sure about it.

It always brought up the wired interface, no matter what > it was called. This is due to its defaults mentioned in the man page: It defaults to eth0. Gentoo no longer installs a config file. -- Regards, Kai Replies to list-only preferred.
