The on that is on the internet is attached to a cable modem. The modem is buggy and some times reboots it self losing the link so I have ifplugd there get new address via dhcp immediately. Intranet card is configured not to use ifplugd. I'm using OpenRC. |

I used to really like ifplugd. mostly for the audible beep when things |
| 17 |
are disconnected as it's easier to diagnose from afar. |
| 18 |
being able to up/down interfaces based on connection state was also |
| 19 |
great for dynamic routing when combined with openrc/netifrc |
| 20 |
however, lack of clear config, no way to at runtime remove it from an |
| 21 |
interface and just complete confusion over software based interfaces |
| 22 |
i.e. gre tunnels or even macvlans.... all mean it is slowly being |
| 23 |
removed from my boxen. |
