Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ifupdown
DESCRIPTION:
The script /etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules does not allow udev to invoke
ifdown when a network PCMCIA card is removed. On subsequent reinsertion of the
card, ifup refuses to run because it thinks that the status is still 'UP'.
CAUSE:
the check DRIVERS=="?*" allows the 'add' part to be executed, but causes the
'remove' part to be skipped
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1) insert the pcmcia card (first time it initializes properly)
2) remove (will not invoke ifdown and will leave a dhclient around)
3) insert again (will not invoke the pre-up or anything else)
ENVIRONMENT:
Ubuntu 7.04
ifupdown 0.6.8ubuntu6
linux-image-2.6.20-16-generic 2.6.20-16.29
