Bug#307495: ifplugd sometimes fails to down an interface

[Libor Klepac]

hello,
i was just i simillar situation, it seems, that ifplugd runs down action
only when you remove cable, but not when you stop the daemon (ie when
you remove module or from hotplug)

so i modified stop method in /etc/init.d/ifplugd to run
/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action ... so the stop method looks like this
stop)

echo -n Stopping Network Interface Plugging Daemon:

for IF in $INTERFACES ; do

/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action $IF down

$IFPLUGD -k --wait-on-kill  -i $IF

echo -n  $IF

done

echo .

;;


well, it's ugly hack, but it works for me ;)

Bug#307495: ifplugd sometimes fails to down an interface

[Jerry Quinn]

Package: ifplugd
Version: 0.26-2
Severity: normal

Sometimes, and I haven't been able to identify the conditions, ifplugd
will leave an interface up instead of downing it.  My machine has an
atheros wireless and a builtin ethernet.  Leaving work, I put the
machine to sleep before disconnecting the wire.  Then at home, when I
resume, the wireless comes up, but the ethernet didn't shut down,
leaving the routing table in a bad state.  Manually ifdowning eth0 sets
things right.

Other times, I end up having to clobber all the ifplugd processes to
sort things out.
