Until the network device initialization model acquires some consistency, I don't see a better solution than continuing to add more special cases. Which won't work in all cases, but I think that won't be a risk for the "ipsec" interfaces (132224) or ppp ones in the way it would be for "eth" interfaces (108857). FYI with 108857 I think the bug might best be fixed in the "ifup" code: if hotplug is doing its job, then that any "ifup does modprobe" usage should expect that, and so it should stop after the modprobe -- or find a way to tell hotplug it should _in this case_ ignore that interface. - Dave > See more detail, look at http://bugs.debian.org/hotplug Some of those might better be redirected upstream, to the sf.net linux-hotplug bug database ... :) > #108857: hotplug should not invoke ifup ethX for built in interfaces > #132224: hotplug should ignor ipsec interfaces _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
