Some of my servers have a back-end nic that has static config defined, and i use netplug or ifplugd for that to bring the iface up and down based on link -- link detection != auto-configuration, imo. Suffice to say, networkmanager is not a reasonable means to determine link state for oldnet. Newnet, well, all of that gets handled outside of openrc's config anyhow so... But this is getting a little beyond the original point of the thread.. :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlBQg74ACgkQ2ugaI38ACPAL5gEArhYn4Zzas8k6ijddwP9F4q+F 95hFTjw9h0lp0nIrrDIA/R6twsmCnPt1T7yYN6jr0ZcjBonZgI+pk3TZS9qnLa/U =dJUq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
