Description diego.santacruz 2003-02-11 08:49:26 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830

Description of problem:
The net agent of hotplug, /etc/hotplug/net.agent, does not set the IN_HOTPLUG
environment variable on which the ifup script relies.

As a consequence, a net iface that is configured with HOTPLUG=no is brought up
by hotplug despite the setting.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hotplug-2002_04_01-13, but I think it also applies to latest rawhide.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure eth0 with HOTPLUG=no in ifcfg-eth0
2. Insert a PCMCIA network card
3.
    

Actual Results:  Hotplug system brings up the interface eth0, despite the
HOTPLUG=no setting.

Expected Results:  Hotplug sets IN_HOTPLUG variable so that ifup can honour the
HOTPLUG=no setting.

Additional info:

The IN_HOTPLUG variable was added on Aug 07 2001, but somehow it was removed
afterwards (probably after upgrading the upstream hotplug package?).
