Description Mark J. Olah 2005-02-04 14:48:21 UTC
If one tries to restart the netowrk device, while the network is down, all the netowrk services go down correctly.  Later, when the network is back up, a subsequent restart of the network device brings up device, however, network services are NOT restarted and remain down.  Network services must be restarted manually

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. unplug network
2. /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart (net services and network go down correctly)
3. (network is unalbe to start as there is temporarily no connection)
4. later... plug in network
5. /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 (net comes up, network services stay down however)

Actual Results:  
all network services remain down, even though netwrok is up!
must restart all network services manually

Expected Results:  
restarted all the network services automatically

I have a wireless card that is causing this problem, but I suppose a wired card
will work the same.

Looks like a duplicate of bug 68190.

If ifplugd or netplug are controlling net.eth0 then the services will be stopped and started correctly if ifplugd and netplug take down net.eth0.

If a manual restart of net.eth0 then occurs then the services will NOT be automatically started again due to manual intervention.

That requires baselayout-1.12
