We're using either ifplugd or netplug. netplug is a lot smaller, but relies on good drivers. ifplugd on the other hand works with nearly every driver and is a tad bloated. > Related question - I thought everything which caused a netlink event > should also cause a hotplug event? If so then why aren't I getting a > hotplug event..? Incorrect, I think. However, both ifplugd and netplug respond to netlink events. Luckily for you, baselayout will automagically support either, so simply emerge one or the other, restart the interface and voila. Thanks Roy -- [email protected] mailing list
