I would like to know why is eth0 up by default? IIRC, this wasn't the case in the past, but I'm not sure.
Here are the messages related to eth0 from /var/log/messages: Mar 17 22:00:01 xvii kernel: [ 1.058264] e1000e 0000:00:19.0 eth0: (PCI Express:2.5GT/s:Width x1) 00:24:e8:97:5f:73 Mar 17 22:00:01 xvii kernel: [ 1.058267] e1000e 0000:00:19.0 eth0: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection Mar 17 22:00:01 xvii kernel: [ 1.058293] e1000e 0000:00:19.0 eth0: MAC: 7, PHY: 8, PBA No: 1004FF-0FF Mar 17 22:00:20 xvii kernel: [ 85.168228] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready and there are no eth0 occurrences in the /var/log/boot file. The reason I ask is because I get spammed by one of my cron scripts that regularly checks the eth0 speed with ethtool. It is silent when eth0 is down, which is normally the case when there's no Ethernet cable plugged in... except since the last boot. Note that my network setup is based on ifupdown, and I use netplug to detect when an Ethernet cable is plugged in/out. So, I do *not* have "auto eth0" in my /etc/network/interfaces file. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
