Steve,
I tried that and unfortunately to no effect. I think you are on the right
track though, I believe that area of the script builds the list of
interfaces to bring up and does not produce anything but lo , eth0 ,
eth1 , etc. I think that in an effort to "ingore aliases, alternative
configurations, and editor backup files" the script fails to add virtual
interfaces and even a ppp interface if they exist. This would also
explain why I was never able to get ppp0 to load on boot. Unfortunately,
I don't know enough egrep to figure out what is wrong, but it would
appear to be a bug in the code. Help?
