Do you perhaps have NetworkManager or wicd installed?
no, none of them, it is a very basic install, with only the minimum
packages installed . I have checked at the init script and find a line
in the depend section saying :
after lo lo0 dbus
but dbus is not yet installed, can this be the cause of my problem?
so I have just installed dbus and add it to default runlevel and my
net.* script are loaded correctly setting my static config, so every
thing is fine now.
But why do we need dbus in a very minimalistic system? I was thinking
that it would be helpful in a full desktop environnement for
automagically mounting device and things like that...
Saying that I've just remenbered that I have selected the desktop
profile instead of the default one, can this be why my init script need
dbus for starting net iface?
