This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release

in Beta 2 on my laptop system this is occurring even in the configuration
editor.  Definately a 
must fix.

The hotplug script isn't too bright.  It gets a 'interface ppp0 has been
created' notification from the kernel, so it runs "ifup ppp0", which kills pppd
and dials up.  Lather, rinse, repeat.

Than, would you verify that this fix (hotplug-S20001126a-0.3) doesn't break ISDN
and related things?

i have checked it. It's ok with isdn and adsl.

oh sorry, it will break ISDN too. I have a hotplug-S20001126a-0.4.src.rpm in my
home.
which does not ifup/ifdown isdn and ippp device. please rebuilt it.
