Description njje jon 2016-11-10 14:29:06 UTC 
I start the netplugd daemon to monitor certain type of cards, in my case Intel's 10G ethernet card, which is using ixgbe kernel module. 
On reloading the kernel module the netplugd daemon dies, issuing a syslog message:
"unexpected state DOWNANDOUT for UP"

I saw that there was similar problem solved in Debian with their own patch (see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=652418), tested and it seems to do the job for me. 
I couldn't find any patch on this on the "official" netplug source repo.

My environment is Gentoo Linux with kernel 3.14.56 on amd64 hardware and sys-apps/netplug-1.2.9.2-r1, but from what I saw quite sure it can be reproduced on other platforms also.
Reproducible: Always

Thank you for the report. Is upstream aware of this already? Will they include the patch soon?

I doubt it. Upstram is long dead...

Will look into this. The patch looks easy enough to be carried on by us.

Eh, I mean "upstream".
