Well, the one 'dangerous' thing that the coldplug rc script does is to |
14 |
extract /lib/firmware.tar.bz2 if it exists. If the tarball exists on |
15 |
your system (it should not), this could potentially overwrite some |
16 |
firmware file required for your network adapter. |

|

Other than that, some dmesg output would be helpful. Also, if the |
19 |
driver for your network card is configured as a module, try reloading |
20 |
it and see what you get from dmesg. |

FYI, coldplug is probably not necessary. It's main use is to run the |
26 |
/etc/hotplug/*.rc scripts at bootup for hot-pluggable devices |
27 |
connected before the hotplug agent is setup correctly. If you connect |
28 |
or power on the USB drive after the system is booted, coldplug has no |
29 |
effect. |
