Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ifupdown
Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.8ubuntu6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
In the /etc/udev/rules.d/85-ifupdown.rules, the remove
rule is, like the add one, conditionalised under
SUBSYSTEM=="net" and DRIVERS=="?*". Unfortunately,
on my system (cdc usb ether driver, connecting to openmoko phone)
the DRIVERS variable isn't set at all when the device is unplugged.
This causes ifdown to fail to be run on device removal, which prevents
the device working next time it is plugged in, since ifup doesn't
do anything when the interface is already up.
Fix: Move the remove line to the end of the file, and insert conditional
subsystem.
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/sbin/start-stop-daemon
--start --background --pidfile /var/run/network/bogus --startas
/sbin/ifdown -- --allow auto $env{INTERFACE}"
