It is called for all of them with $IFACE set accordingly, but in addition, for each invocation of ifup -a, the scripts are run with IFACE=--all. This is documented behaviour, and some users' setups might depend on it. I'll have to check whether this is still used by scripts provided by other Debian packages, and if not then perhaps we can phase this out. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen signature.asc Description: PGP signature
