Upstream response: I assume this was an older HAL version. There is currently no longer a key net.interface_up in the linux code of HAL.
See this discussion: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.hal/5260/focus=5329 And this commit: Date: Thu May 25 15:16:19 2006 +0000 removed net.interface_up property because we never refresh the value, since this info is gone into NetworkMananger and removed from HAL (see fd.o bug #6233). changed net.interface_up to not mandatory Thus this does not affect current Ubuntu releases any more. ** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- ipw2200 card shows interface down even when connected to access point https://launchpad.net/bugs/41393 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
