Well I do not know what you mean by "too old". It is the latest "sid" debian version and I adapted it to replace the ifconfig/route commands by the ip addr/ip route combo. The interface file is very flexible: you can embedded as many ip command as you what through the up/down/pre- up/pre-down prefix. My advice: use the -s flag to see what an ifup eth1 command is doing ifup -s eth1 (or ifdown -s eth1) It will show you the precise sequences of command that will be executed when starting/stopping the interface Jacques -------------- Profitez de l'offre spéciale Tiscali Liberty Surf ! 50% de temps en plus pendant 3 mois sur tous les forfaits Internet.
