Nor should it add provide net, because ifplugd running doesn't mean the |
| 10 |
network is up. My solution would be to remove any network dependent |
| 11 |
services from any runlevel that uses ifplugd, and start/stop them from the |
| 12 |
postup/predown functions in /etc/conf.d/net instead. |

If you wanted to get clever, you could create a new runlevel, say |
| 15 |
network, then add "rc network" to postup() and "rc default" to predown() |
| 16 |
instead of handling each service separately. |
