An extraneuos ampersand on an 'exec' line (55 or so) of the /etc/hotplug/net.agent script causes bad error message. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert a pcmcia network card into a redhat 7.1 laptop Actual Results: Look at the system messages (/var/log/messages). The line: "Date hostname /etc/hotplug/net.agent: register event not handled" is issued. This is not true. An added ampersand on line 55 of the script for the default exec case causes thread to return. Mesg is generated. The script does its job, but the error is issued (erroneously). Expected Results: No error. Additional info: If you remove the '&' all is good.
