Is there a (not too complicated) way to get eth0 to come up automatically (with dhcp) when the cable is plugged in and go down when it is disconnected?
I currently have the default setup where it is defined as auto with dhcp, so dhcp is always running, /etc/network/interfaces: # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto eth0 I also see a message in dmesg that says that it recognises that the cable was connected and disconected i.e on disconnecting and reconnecting the cable I get e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Down e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: 10/100 speed: disabling TSO Taking out the cable leaves the interface up though and reconnecting it doesn't reacquire a network address. Is there a way to do that automatically? Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
