Are both net.eth0 and net.eth1 in the default runlevel? Also, ifplugd is very bad with wireless - use wpa_supplicant instead.
No, I have neither net.eth0 nor net.eth1 in the default runlevel. I thought that this was not needed.
No, it's not needed. I myself don't have any net.xxx scripts in any runlevel (except for net.lo). Is sshd in the default runlevel? Does it work if you use wpa_supplicant to manage your wireless interface?
Yes, sshd is in the default runlevel. I don't know about wpa_supplicant as I don't use it.
(In reply to comment #7) > Yes, sshd is in the default runlevel. I don't know about wpa_supplicant as I > don't use it. Have you got wireless-tools installed?
Of course.
So you're using the ifplugd init script?

No, I am not using the ifplugd init script.
net.eth1 is not in any runlevel and is not being picked up by udev/coldplug to add it to the default runlevel. Solution - add net.eth1 to the default runlevel.
Adding net.eth1 to the default runlevel makes the situation currently worse for me: at the time when net.eth1 is started the ipw3945d has not yet been started (because I currently start it via conf.d/local.start). Will try again once the ipw3945d issue has been solved.
If ipw3945d creates the actual interface then we have a problem. At present, ipw3945d doesn't even have an init script to my knowledge. I think the only viable solution is to add net.eth1 to the default runlevel, follow the advice in bug #143887 to get net.eth1 to depend on ipw3945d AND - this is the important part - use wpa_supplicant. wpa_supplicant is important as it makes net.eth1 re-entrant so it supports the inactive status. This means that during a normal boot services that require net will be scheduled to start once a net device becomes active - you are already seeing this with ifplugd.
