* Nuno Silva: > Which version of netifrc do you have? Could this be bug 642774[1]? Possibly. Similar issues have been reported for a while, see for example https://bugs.gentoo.org/609682 . Since I only stop network interfaces manually once in a blue moon, I have shrugged it off so far. -Ralph

I get that too, and I have been seeing it for as long as I remember - maybe always. I ignore it and nothing bad happens. I have totally different hardware (r8169), and I have the "stable" names on (ahem), so I think neither of those are relevant. -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.

Could this be bug 642774[1]? It depends on the request to stabilize netifrc-0.6.1, so if you have an older version, you could try that one. >From the commit itself[2], it looks like netifrc is checking for L2TP in a way which produces this output when L2TP isn't supported.
