I rather like Debian's ifupdown more than the net.iface scripts. It does |
| 11 |
not yet integrate ifplugd's functions, but I would not mind seeing Gentoo |
| 12 |
able to work with that at some point. ifupdown is especially nice for |
| 13 |
PCMCIA and other hot-pluggable network interfaces. I won't suggest that |
| 14 |
Gentoo move from the net.iface scripts to it until such time as it can do |
| 15 |
PPP links of various sorts. I'm pretty sure it can do PPPoE, but not |
| 16 |
PPPoA or standard {a,}sync PPP (modem and ISDN) connections. |

I've known how to use ifplugd since it was first put into Debian. Thanks |
| 28 |
for making it work on a Gentoo box, I've been up to my eyeballs in other |
| 29 |
obligations. |
