--- Begin Message ---Package: ifupdown Version: 0.6.8+nmu1 Severity: normal If I do "ifup wlan0" before having plugged my USB wifi dongle, a subsequent "ifup wlan0" just says "interface wlan0 already configured". You can try it for yourself: # cat /etc/network/interfaces iface wlandummy0 inet manual wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf iface default inet dhcp # ifup wlandummy0 [...lots of errors...] # ifup wlandummy0 ifup: interface wlandummy0 already configured # This causes problems for me, where some scripts occasionally blindly try to start my wlan0 network, causing its "ifstate" to become inconsistent, so that (for instance) my "allow-hotplug" rule ends up not working when I plug in the dongle. Maybe the hotplug code should always do an "ifup --force" to work around such problems. Generally, I think the "ifstate" should be handled with more care.

--- Begin Message ---Version: 0.8 Recent versions of ifupdown are more strict when running scripts, so if there is an error while the wpa-roam option is processed, it should now no longer cause ifupdown to mark the interface as being up. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <[email protected]>
