Are you sure there's not an old /etc/init.d/network or other startup script that brings the interface up initially using ifconfig? In my experience, when ifup brings up an interface, ifdown brings it down. Does your /etc/network/interfaces list anything else to do when the interface is brought up/down that might be causing the messages? On one of our boxes, I'd forgotten that an interface entry ran a firewall script before coming up; moving the firewall script made it so ifup didn't bring the interface up at all. That doesn't appear to be your problem, but a long-forgotten entry in one of those scripts can cause some puzzling behavior. --Pete -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
