Yeah, I am aware of this. The problem is really in the linux kernel, which have become event based and thus unpredictable. We are working on a proper fix for this. Can you provide information about the network equipment you have (network card, computer model, switch vendor and model) and setup (content of /etc/network/interfaces and output from lspci), and submit it as a bug against the initscripts package? I've seen similar with static IP configuration and cisco switches, and would like to see if this is similar or a different setup. > I'd file a bug report but I don't believe that I'm qualified; I > found my solution by trial and error and theres probably a 'right' > way to do this that you have provided... and which I've been unable > to figure out. I suspect the problem could be improved slightly in the ifupdown package, but am not sure. Lets start with initscripts and take it from there.
