tag 255222 + patch thanks Attached a trivial and completely untested patch for the change Thomas Hood suggested (mainly so I can tag the bug patch to make it shows up as having a suggested solution already).
This patch is against the ifupdown.nw file in ifupdown 0.7~alpha3 (experimental). A friendly reminder: don't forget to update the generated files by running noweb ifupdown.nw after applying it! -- Regards, Andreas Henriksson
