[gentoo-user] starting wlan0 only when wireless is turned on

2010-12-12 Thread Valmor de Almeida
Hello, I would like to have net.wlan0 started only when the wireless card is switched on. I am using ifplugd for starting net.eth0 when an ethernet cable is plugged in. Is there a similar utility for net.wlan0? Ideally so that it is configurable in conjunction with ifplugd. Thanks, -- Valmor
