I have been posting about this issue a few weeks ago, but got no reply (look for subject hotplug and ifup). I solved this problem by adding a variable to hotplug and setting a variable in ifcfg-eth0. I think it was foreseen to work like this but, as already said, nobody bothered to comment on this so my solution is only a(n educated) guess.

I think in rc.sysinit. I wouldn't turn it off though. Hotplug is a fantastic feature. > > TIA, > > Jim ciao, Z.
