after some reflection overnight, i think a minor workaround would be to have in /lib/udev/ifplugd.agent a check to see if '-M' is in the $ARGS and if it is to *not* try to kill the ifplugd instance. for now however i am just commenting out the kill:
remove|unregister) debug_mesg Stopping $DAEMON_NAME for $INTERFACE # kill a running ifplugd daemon # NO! DO NOT PERMIT THIS TO HAPPEN! # let ifplugd exit on its own #exec $DAEMON -k -i $INTERFACE but this really is not the solution. really, ifplugd should not be so aggressive as to try to kill itself off without first letting it complete the running of the "down" actions. l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
