Bug 47164

Description of Problem:

When you insert pcmcia card, eth0 interface will not be initialised.

How Reproducible:

always

Actual Results:

I replaced "exec ifup" with "exec sh -x ifup" in /etc/hotplug/net.agent
See debugging output.

Make MAC address in net.agent lowercase like in /sbin/ifup and everything
will be OK. Use /sbin/ip output instead of ifconfig.
