Although yes this is true, when I did my install I just made symlinks |
46 |
for net.eth{0,1,2,3} and net.wlan{0,1}. Once they are there, usage is |
47 |
straight-forward and the iface scripts that I don't hotplug are never |
48 |
started so there isn't any issue with them being there (on my systems |
49 |
I don't specify all devices need to be up for 'net' to be up). |
50 |
|
51 |
Although, as rumour has it udev is dropping the persistent-*.rules |
52 |
soon so it might become difficult for me to configure my various |
53 |
net.*'s in a consistent way. But that's a side issue that'll affect |
54 |
more than just hotplugging I expect. |
