If it's really a hotplug interface (ie, PC-card or USB), then /etc/init.d/networking may stall if the interface is set to "auto" in /etc/network/interfaces. >> >> Here is what the boot process, that has hanged while using >> interfaces.guessnet based interfaces script, show on the screen: >> Configureing network interfaces... guessnet: Missing mac at line 26: only >> check for the ip >> guessnet: Missing mac at line 29: only check for the ip >> guessnet: 2 candidates found in input >> guessnet: Guessnet 0.36 starting... >> guessnet: Trying MII detection ... > I just checked the logs in /var/log after rebooting into Debain Unstable > (using dhcp, not guessnet) and found that there are no logs between the > time I shutdown the machine to boot using guessnet and the time I rebooted > the machine using dhcp.

Try removing "auto eth0" from the /etc/network/interfaces file. Whether it's a hotplug interface or not, once ifplugd _does_ start, it should try to bring it up using "ifup eth0", which will get into the guessnet script. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
