If the NICs have an "auto <nic>" (or "allow-auto <nic>") line, they can be controlled with "service networking ..." or "ifup|ifdown -a" (or "ifup --all"/"ifup --allow=auto"). If the NICs have an "allow-hotplug <nic>" line, they can be controlled with "ifup|ifdown --allow=hotplug". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
