Well, the first example is my new idea |
| 16 |
The second example is what we used todo (before the last patch I wanged in), |
| 17 |
but one day some bright spark may create a service called "no" and expect it |
| 18 |
to be coldpluggable .... |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
pre19-r1 is like RC_COLDPLUG="*" and doesn't honour yes/no, hence this email. |

Not going to help 128962 as the firewire module is already loaded and has |
| 29 |
taken eth0 .... |

Add your firewall script to the boot runlevel and depend like so |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
depend() { |
| 41 |
before net |
| 42 |
} |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Solved! |

hotplug_$iface was a fudge, a very bad idea that has been removed baelayout. |
| 54 |
If baselayout is to have any hotplug/coldplug control it should be on a |
| 55 |
service level and not just a network level. |
