Hi, does anybody use ifplugd successfully?
Assume a cable is inserted. Then i perform the following commands: - ifconfig eth0 up - mii-tool eth0 => works, shows infos about the link - ifconfig eth0 down - mii-tool eth0 => shows "no-link" even though cable is inserted! The problem: So assume i unplug the cable. ifplugd calls "/etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop" and the interface goes down (same as ifconfig eth0 down above) Now ifplugd polls the interface and waits until the a cable is inserted, but this will never be detected, because mii-tool always reports "no-link". So i assume that ifplugd was written to detect the when the cable is reinserted - but in my case, it can't. Is that a proper behaviour? I mean: is mii-tool supposed to report the link infos when a cable is inserted and the interface is down? I may have found a bug in the network-driver (bcm4400). Can you perform those three steps with your network card? - ifconfig eth0 up - ifconfig eth0 down - mii-tool eth0 What does the mii-tool report? Greetings Sven
