--- Begin Message ---Package: ifplugd Version: 0.28-19 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I run ifplugd on my eth0 ethernet interface, and use wpa_supplicant for my eth1 wireless interface. When I am on wireless and plug in my ethernet cable, I often (but not always) end up with a configured eth0 interface but no default route. This happens due to a race condition between eth1 going down and eth0 coming up. I don't think this is necesarily ifplugd's fault, but I file it here so you can help route it to the right place. Here is what happens: 1. ifplugd detects the ethernet interface. 2. ifplugd runs /etc/ifplugd/action.d/action_wpa. This calls "wpa_cli -i eth1 disconnect", which takes down the eth1 interface asynchronously. 3. ifplugd runs /etc/ifplugd/action.d/ifupdown. This calls "ifup eth0", which brings up the eth0 interface using dhcp (in my configuration). 4. When dhclient gets a lease, it calls /sbin/dhclient-script, which calls something like ip -4 route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0 Unfortunately, at this point, since eth1 was taken down asynchronously, it may still have the default route. When this command is run while eth1 has the default route, it fails with RTNETLINK answers: File exists I can think of three possible solutions: - wpasupplicant provides a synchronous call to take down the interface. - ifplugd polls for the wireless interfaces to finish going down. - isc-dhcp-client enables setting multiple default routes, so eth0 and eth1 both have default routes for the brief period where they coexist. The last of these seems most logical to me, but from what I understand it may be difficult to configure. Maybe isc-dhcp-client could take over the default route unconditionally. Anyhow, I would appreciate your advice.
