I considered using --allow=hotplug but in the end decided that it would be both complex (the script would need to find out which interfaces are actually up) and not really correct (an hotplug-aware interface could have been shutdown manually or the link could be temporarily down, etc). Maybe a possible solution would be to take note of which interfaces are up before shutting them down, but it would require knowledge of implementation details of ifupdown so I am leaving this for its maintainer when he will finally move the init script to his own package. -- ciao, Marco
