Is your network setup managed by "network" service or NetworkManager? If later, I don't think it cares about these local scripts at all.. If you are using "network", try to find out if it runs or not by putting something simple inside, like #!/bin/sh echo "$@" > /tmp/ifup-local-test If you need NetworkManager, I don't think I can give any advice on how to make it work when NM manages network.. -- Vladimir
