OK I think I have found the problem.
On line 148 of /etc/init.d/network we have :-
if [ "${DEVICE:0:3}" != "eth" -o ${DEVICE/:/} != ${DEVICE} -o ! -x
/sbin/ifplugd ] || grep -q '^MII_NOT_SUPPORTED' ifcfg-$i; then
action "Bringing up interface %s: " $i ./ifup $DEVICE boot
else
IFPLUGD_ARGS="${IFPLUGD_ARGS=-w -b}"
action "Bringing up interface %s: " $i /sbin/ifplugd $IFPLUGD_ARGS
-i
$DEVICE
fi
So if ifcfg-eth *does not* contain the line MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes then ifplugd
is started regardless of whether or not it is enabled in /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.
conf. My wireless card does nor support link beat so ifplugd is not able to
bring the link up.
If I add the line MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes to ifcfg-eth0 then ifup eth0 gets called
instead and the link comes up OK. Trouble is drakconnect does not add that line
:-(

I have a Melco wireless card using the orinoco driver. It worked fine in Mdk9.1
In 9.2RC2 it does not start on boot, or with a 'service network restart', but
does come up with 'ifup eth0'
The ifcfg-eth0 is configured for start on boot and dhcp.
