• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

The hotplug policy agent in /etc/hotplug/net.agent expects redhat-style
ifup/ifdown interfaces to register/unregister network cards. Gentoo doesn't
provide them so the script should be patched.

There is a preliminary patch on the gentoo forums,
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=691 that might be useable as a starting
point.

Created attachment 4805 [details, diff]
patch to add /etc/init.d/net.* support to net.agent

this diff is against hotplug-20020826, but it should apply cleanly to 20020401

Since Chad's list is long, I will take care of this one for him.  Look for 
this fix to appear soon, both in 20020401 and a new 20020826 ebuild.

I have committed hotplug-20020401-r1 which should fix this problem. (I don't 
have a network device to test personally.)  You might also test 
hotplug-20020826 (which presently requires ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86 ~ppc").
