Mike,Hey,
I installed ifplug a *long* time ago on this laptop, and it worked perfectly.
After upgrading to the new baselayout I saw it had built in support for ifplug
and netplug.
Great I thought, I'll let it handle it. So I reinstalled ifplug to put all the
config back to default, and update it.
Now it doesn't work very well.
Well, it works, dhcpcd is stopped when the cable is unplugged, and started
again when it's plugged back in. But the interface is never actually brought
down, and that's my problem, I *want* the interface brought *down*.
Why? IPv6. If the interface isn't brought up, stateless autoconfiguration
doesn't work.
For all my fiddling with ifplugd and netplug, I can't get either to work how
ifplugd used to.
I've tried using ifplugd as both a deamon with modules=( "!plug" ), and
letting baselayout handle it fully.
I've messed about with the API ifplugd uses.
Nothing.
Does anyone know how I can get it to work properly?

Oh, and it would be nice if it could pause the interface, rather than stop it,
but that's easily hacked in.

Sorry i have neevr used ifplug, but i did have very good luck with NetworkManager from Gentopia, https://gentopia.gentooexperimental.org/ iknow it brings the interfaces down like you wanted.
