You are aware of ifplugd (and libdaemon0 on which it depends) originate, right? I guess I just had a knee-jerk reaction to that, similar to the way people on this list have something against pulseaudio :-) $ apt-cache show ifplugd libdaemon0 | grep Homepage: Homepage: http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/ifplugd/ Homepage: http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/libdaemon/ Anyway, if ifplugd works for you that's fine. For me, netplug does the job and didn't need any configuration. It worked out of the box. > It works perfectly with some hand tweaking of /etc/interfaces. > > Also you need to configure /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf > by hand or install wpa_gui. I used wpa_gui on one occasion and rolled a wpa_supplicant.conf for roaming purposes by hand following the manual page and examples. Not exactly user friendly but not rocket science either. > Anyway, wpa_supplicant.conf needs the following instructions: > > ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=dialout > update_config=1 > > You can choose a different group, and you should make yourself a > member of this group. I'm not using the GROUP variable on my home laptop (nor do I have the `DIR=` bit in there). I am member of the netdev and plugdev groups. I believe that takes care of things for me. I also don't have update_config set in my /etc/wpa_supplicant/conf.d/ snippets. # Eh, yes, I don't have a wpa_supplicant.conf file. I wrote snippets # for each of the places where I need things to work. At the office I use a wpa-roam.conf. See the example file for more info on setting this up.
