Following the man page (interfaces (5)) you are right, of course. In theory, however, since things are kicked off by an udev rule (i.e. udev calling some command) it shouldn't be too hard (TM) to wire up things, provided you've a monitor which tells you when an eth has carrier. Currently I haven't an Ehternet to fool around, so I'll leave it at that. Cheers -- t
