Alan, AFAIK, the extra "--" indicates that start-stop-daemon should pass the remaining arguments to ifup/ifdown, rather than trying to process them itself. The start-stop-daemon(8) manpage says as much.
Also, ifupdown already says "--allow auto", not "--allow=auto", and my patch doesn't change that. Indeed, network device hotplug works perfectly on my system once the patch is applied, with an "auto bnep0" line in /etc/network/interfaces -- udev stops pppd persist working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78043 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
