Mike, The behavior I observed on the Sony after installing ifplugd was that it would drop and raise eth0 as the cable was removed and inserted, but only then. Had no effect after booting with no cable inserted. This weekend I'll check to ensure that I have only one instance of ifplugd installed. > In fact, by default eth0 should not be enabled: > > *-a | --no-auto* > Do not enable interface automatically (default: off) > > I found this thread ( > http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/how-tho-configure-my-system-to-start-wlan0-instead-of-eth0-847316/) > where > the user doesn't want eth0 to be enabled upon boot to stop eth0 from > attempting to connect via DHCP before connecting to the wifi net. > > Perhaps this might be a workaround? Another task for this weekend. Thanks, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
