Bug#322324: ifplugd: Fails to ifup eth0 at boot time
hello, i have the same problem here my configuration i use discover to load modules for pci devices (both on laptop and desktop) i have hotplug pci subsystem disabled on laptop, i use udev to rename eth0->lan, on desktop eth0 is eth0 ;) i have ifplugd configured to watch all hotplug interfaces and no static interface i noticed it, when i switched from hotplug for pci to discover on my desktop (maybe it wasn't working before, but i don't restart my desktop offten so i didn't notice after boot, i have ifplugd running for lan interface, but it's not up, i was searching why, and it seems, that problem is, when you have /etc/networking/run/ifstate linked to /dev/shm ... appearently, it's not available, when hotplug launches ifplugd i created regular directory and file and lan is up after boot i fiddled a little with sequence of commands in rcS ... now it's S33mountall.sh S34mountvirtfs (we need /dev/shm mounted) S35ifupdown (we need /dev/shm/network/run/ifstate) S36discover (it loads e100, it seems to emit hotplug action -> launches ifplugd which ifups lan, so we need /dev/shm/network/run/ifstate) S40hotplug (is not important) (old sequence was S35mountall.sh S36discover S36mountvirtfs S39ifupdown S40hotplug ) and it also boots with lan ifuped what do you think? i think, it should work this way, maybe this bug should be assigned to another package (maybe it's complete gibberish, but it fixed my problem, it seems) well as i look on sequence of commands in rcS, it seem, that when e100 module was loaded by hotplug pci, ifupdown was already finished, so ifstate file existed cu libor signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

No. Or actually, the only thing in /var/log/syslog is that it discovers the interface "sit0" Aug 10 09:53:08 fidgit ifplugd.hotplug[6643]: Invoking ifplugd for sit0 Aug 10 09:53:08 fidgit ifplugd(sit0)[6656]: ifplugd 0.26 initializing.

I do not remember exactly, but it could very well have been related to a kernel update. Or any other update, since there have been lots of updates to sarge. > What happens when you do > ifup eth0 > after boot, when it did not work? "ifup eth0" always works when I run it manually. I don't think ifplugd tries to run it at boot. If I unplug the cable and plug it back in, ifplug will up the interface. > Do you use dhcp? Yes.

Is there any information in the log files? Did ifplugd tell anything? Also, do you remember any change to your system that my have caused the problem? A kernel update, for example? What happens when you do ifup eth0 after boot, when it did not work? Do you use dhcp?

Bug#322324: ifplugd: Fails to ifup eth0 at boot time
Package: ifplugd Version: 0.26-2 Severity: important I have a laptop with a built-in eth0 interface, and a wireless card that I sometimes plug in. This means that sometimes I boot with a cable in eth0, and sometimes not. So I disabled the autoconfiguration of eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces and added eth0 to INTERFACES in /etc/defaults/ifplugd. This used to work a couple of months ago, but now, it doesn't work anymore. If I plug in the cable after ifplugd has started, it works fine. It is as if ifplugd doesn't even notice eth0. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.iso88591 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages ifplugd depends on: ii debconf 1.4.30.13Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdaemon0 0.7-1lightweight C library for daemons -- debconf information: * ifplugd/interfaces: eth0 * ifplugd/hotplug_interfaces: all * ifplugd/args: -q -f -u0 -d10 -w -I ifplugd/suspend_action: stop -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
