Summary: netconf should use ifplugd
Product: Codex
Version: test grimoire
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: net
AssignedTo: sm-grimoire-bugs at lists.ibiblio.org
ReportedBy: juuso.alasuutari at tamperelainen.org
ifplugd is a nice little app. It runs a background daemon which can launch a
command script, usually ifup/ifdown, whenever a network device is plugged or
unplugged. netconf could well use this feature.
There is one downside to ifplugd, though: it needs the driver to be present to
observe network state changes. And as SMGL's ifdown unloads the driver module
if one is used, ifplugd will not be able to bring the interface back up
anymore when the cable is again plugged in. (If the module is then manually
loaded, though, ifplugd will take immediate action.)
Nevertheless I ask for integration of ifplugd into netconf. It could be an
option that's only available for static configurations, and of course only if
the spell itself is installed (would be unnecessary to include it as
dependency).
