Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.8
Severity: normal
I have a machine that typically uses a few alias interfaces off a vlan.
Eg, eth0.0006:1 eth0.0006:2 and so on. eth0 is configured for dhcp, but
not auto. Sometimes I need it up for a few minutes, then I bring it back
down. I've attched a command line transcript of some events that occur
after ifdown eth0 occurs. the ifupdown scripts still presume secondary
interfaces are up, when they are not.
Initially I did "ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up" to drop the address, but dhcp
reassigned it after the lease renewed.
Thanks
