Ah, just looking at what's in if-down.d got me the exact answer for why this isn't the case right now: the dispatcher runs *after* the interface has been brought down.
How consequent is this with how net-device-down should be handled? Is it supposed to be emitted when the device is down or going down? And how are applications depending on this signal handling it, or expecting of the meaning of net-device-down? FWIW, the same behavior applies to net-device-up: NetworkManager will "emit" it only once the device is truly up, not when it's being brought up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/925411 Title: dispatcher script 01ifupdown never emits net-device-down To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/925411/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
