Nor should it add provide net, because ifplugd running doesn't mean the network is up. My solution would be to remove any network dependent services from any runlevel that uses ifplugd, and start/stop them from the postup/predown functions in /etc/conf.d/net instead. If you wanted to get clever, you could create a new runlevel, say network, then add "rc network" to postup() and "rc default" to predown() instead of handling each service separately. -- Neil Bothwick Quark!
