ah yeah quite right i should have been clearer re: netifrc start and |
| 12 |
interface start |
| 13 |
--- they add "inactive" to the status when there is no connection so |
| 14 |
the states go |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
/etc/init.d/net.blah start |
| 17 |
stopped > inactive > started |
| 18 |
and only trigger the netifrc start process when going from inactive > |
| 19 |
started |
| 20 |

| 21 |
started > inactive |
| 22 |
i.e. routes and IP addresses are added/removed, but the interface is |
| 23 |
still up (but unplugged) |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
better to use hotplug imo but different use cases need different things |
