This is why I hate changes like this. They don't remove the problem, they make it smaller. And smaller in a bad way. Smaller makes the problem even more harder to diagnose when it happens. There is implicitly no synchonization between network configuration daemons and things people run by hand like this script. So, caveat emptor. I'm not applying this, sorry. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list de...@linuxdriverproject.org http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
