Message-Id: <41D74A49.2060607@are-b.org> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org After a quick search through the maillinglist archives I stumbled across http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t8195295700001&r=1&w=2 They mention ifplugd and even though this seems to work reasonably, I was wondering why hotplugging doesn't support ethernet hotplugging nativly? As I understand it the hotplugging daemon responds to events created by several devices, where the ifplugd polls and the device. Also this seems to fit perfectly into hotplugging as you plug something in :). Also having a daemon for everything seems kinda normal these days, which I think is becoming out of hand. Or is my gentoo installation just very misconfigured and does hotplugging indeed support ethernet cable hotplugging. oliver ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
