Package: hotplug Version: 0.0.20040329-16 Severity: wishlist ifplugd and waproamd both use /etc/hotplug.d/net/* scripts to start themselves when a new network card becomes available. This bites if programmes like ifrename or udev want to rename an interface: ifplugd/waproamd ups the interface before /etc/hotplug.d/default/* scripts are run. Thus, when udev/ifrename get a chance, the interface is already up and cannot be renamed.
The solution -- I think -- seems to be to call ifplugd/waproamd from /etc/hotplug/net/* instead. However, that does not exist. Could you please add support for hook scripts for the net class to /etc/hotplug?
