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?).
